After the House voted to impeach President Donald Trump on two articles of impeachment, he signed a copy of the report compiled by the House Judiciary Committee in his signature black marker.
Now, Goldin Auctions is auctioning off that report. With just over four days left, the highest bid for the documents was $17,000 before a buyer’s premium. As Darren Rovell of Action Network noted on Monday, the buyer’s premium brought the highest bid to $20,400.

The House voted to advance two articles of impeachment on Dec. 18 largely along party lines. At the same time, Trump held a rally in Michigan, after which he reportedly signed a copy of the Judiciary Committee’s report.
A letter of provenance included with the documents by Jonathan Moore says he was at the Michigan rally and asked Trump to sign the report, “And he happily complied.”
Goldin Auctions advertises the document as the “full report conducted by the House Judiciary Committee,” which the House debated and voted on.
“Offered here is the full report conducted by the House Judiciary Committee for the ‘IMPEACHMENT OF DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES’ that was version presented to the full House to vote. On the night that President Trump was formally impeached, he was in the middle of a campaign rally in Battle Creek, Michigan.”
Additionally, it notes the historical value as Trump is just the third president to be impeached in the House.
