Donald Trump is urging Congress to pass a resolution that would “expunge” his first-term impeachments, even though no clear law explicitly provides for such an action. According to reporting, Trump argues that Congress can still remove the records of his impeachment proceedings through a legislative measure, despite legal uncertainty about whether this is permitted. He frames the effort as consistent with his position that he did “nothing wrong,” and he calls for lawmakers to take steps to scrub the impeachments.
Both outlets describe Trump’s push as an attempt to change the official record of the impeachment process. The reports highlight that the proposal depends on Congress acting through a resolution rather than a process established in statute. The story focuses on Trump’s stance and the question of feasibility, including the lack of an established legal mechanism for expungement.
