Some House Republicans reportedly oppose expunging former President Donald Trump’s impeachments, even as others work to make the Democrats’ impeachments nonexistent.
introducedStefanik’s resolution aims to expunge Trump’s impeachment regarding January 6. She asserts the facts and circumstances upon which the House Democrats impeached Trump did not meet the burden of proving that Trump committed “high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” She also argues the impeachment did not establish that Trump engaged in an “insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”
Greene’s resolution focuses on Trump’s 2019 impeachment regarding the “perfect phone call.” Greene argues Trump was wrongfully accused of misconduct, demonstrated by the information revealed in the FBI informant document that alleges Joe Biden took a $5 million bribe. The resolution asserts the articles of impeachment did not meet the burden of proof of “high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
But “moderate Republicans” reportedly oppose expunging the Democrat impeachment due to reelection concerns.[I]n a recent leadership meeting, moderate Republicans pushed back on the idea, arguing that any expungement vote would be poisonous to the reelections of members in JOE BIDEN-won districts — particularly given that polling suggests most Americans disapprove of Trump’s actions on Jan. 6.
The decision to hold a vote to expunge the impeachments is ultimately House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s. The outlet reported McCarthy promised Trump he would hold a vote to expunge before the August recess.
