Trump, allies working on plan to expunge impeachments
President Donald Trump and congressional allies are discussing a push to formally expunge his two impeachments from the House record, a move supporters say would help correct what they see as partisan attacks against the president.
The effort has gained traction among some Republicans after the Trump administration declassified material related to the investigation behind Trump’s first impeachment.
Supporters argue the documents undermine the credibility of key witnesses and bolster claims that the proceedings were politically motivated.
“It should be done because I did nothing wrong,” Trump told The Wall Street Journal in a phone interview. “It was a rigged deal — it was a whole rigged situation.”
People familiar with the matter told the outlet that lawmakers are not expected to take up the measure until after the November midterm elections.
