MTG, Stefanik, Plan To Expunge Trump Impeachments From Official Record

Democrats weaponized the power of impeachment against President Donald Trump

Two House Republicans are working to expunge the impeachments of 45th President Donald Trump from the record, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. Elise Stefanik introducing separate resolutions that would purge each impeachment.

Stefanik introduced a resolution to expunge Trump’s impeachment related to the alleged “insurrection” on Januay 6, 2021. Breitbart reported that she believes the Democrats running the impeachment trial “did not meet the burden” of proving Trump committed any crimes or caused an “insurrection or rebellion against the United States.” Greene’s resolution focuses on Trump’s 2019 impeachment regarding the “perfect phone call.

Trump was ultimately acquitted of both impeachments in the U.S. Senate, but remains among 17th President Andrew Johnson and 42nd President Bill Clinton in the small category of U.S. Presidents who were impeached in the U.S. House.

According to Breitbart, the expungement effort would “make the Democrats’ impeachments of Trump nonexistent, as if such Articles of Impeachment had never passed the full House of Representatives.”
