US EditionSmithsonian to update National Museum exhibit after removing Trump impeachment references
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AUG 4 – The Smithsonian reversed its removal of Trump’s two impeachments from a presidential exhibit after public backlash, confirming updates will fully reflect all U.S. impeachment proceedings.
- The Smithsonian Institution said it will update the National Museum of American History exhibit after removing references to former President Donald Trump’s two impeachments.
- The Washington Post reported on July 31, 2025, that the Smithsonian had withdrawn mention of Trump’s prior impeachments from an exhibit featuring Bill Clinton, Andrew Jackson, and Richard Nixon.
- The Smithsonian said 'The placard, which was meant to be a temporary addition to a twenty-five-year-old exhibition, did not meet the museum’s standards in appearance, location, timeline and overall presentation,' and said the section will be updated in the coming weeks.
- After days of mounting criticism, the Smithsonian said in an August 2 post on X it will restore references to Trump’s impeachments in the exhibit.
- Amid wider concerns, the Smithsonian said 'the move raised alarm about Trump’s growing influence over cultural institutions,' linking it to a pattern of historical whitewashing and political capitulation.
