US EditionSmithsonian restores Trump to impeachment display in museum with revisions
NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AMERICAN HISTORY, AUG 8 – The Smithsonian revised the Trump impeachment placard to include more neutral language after public criticism and an executive order from President Trump, reflecting both impeachments.
- The Smithsonian Institution reinstalled material referencing President Donald Trump's two impeachments at the National Museum of American History, with notable text edits.
- Last month, the museum removed a temporary placard referencing Trump's two impeachments after President Donald Trump earlier this year signed an executive order accusing it of promoting a `divisive` ideology.
- The new placard now includes `alleged` in the first impeachment description and omits claims of Trump's `false statements` and lawless Capitol speech from the second impeachment.
- Amid fierce criticism, Schumer labeled the removal 'downright Orwellian', claiming claims the museum was capitulating to Trump prompted public outcry.
- The Smithsonian said the exhibit now places the impeachment information in a lower spot, with the placard near the bottom alongside admittance tickets to Senate impeachment proceedings.
