Donald Trump says Congress should “expunge” two impeachments from the official record, arguing they were unfair political attacks on his presidency. In his comments, Trump frames the impeachments as something that should be corrected through congressional action rather than treated as settled findings. The White House, according to the reporting, responds by characterizing the impeachment efforts as political and not grounded in legitimate wrongdoing, with officials describing them as “phony attacks” carried out by Democrats.
The outlets describe Trump’s position as a demand to alter or erase the documented record of the impeachment proceedings. However, the available reporting focuses on Trump’s call for congressional action and the administration’s criticisms of the impeachment process, rather than detailing a specific legal mechanism, timeline, or any decision by Congress. The reports also do not indicate whether Congress has begun any formal steps to address the request.
