Trump, allies working on plan to void his impeachments, WSJ reports
House Speaker Mike Johnson says the move would be symbolic and could not erase the record because the Constitution provides no procedure to undo impeachment.
- President Donald Trump and allies are urging Congress to pass a resolution expunging his two first-term impeachments, The Wall Street Journal reported.
- Trump faced two impeachments during his first term: one in 2019 for abuse of power regarding Ukraine aid and another in 2021 for inciting the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson backs the effort, calling them "sham impeachments," though legal experts note the Constitution provides no mechanism to legally nullify an impeachment.
- White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson defended the move as recognizing "sham efforts," while Republican lawmakers indicate the measure will likely wait until after the November elections.
- Analysts warn the resolution could backfire by forcing Republican lawmakers to relitigate Trump's past behavior and specific charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
