JUST IN: Reports indicate President Donald Trump is urging congressional Republicans to support a resolution that would remove references to his two impeachments

According to multiple reports, the proposed measure would seek to formally address the historical record surrounding Trump’s impeachments, both of which occurred during his first term in office. Supporters of the effort argue that the impeachments were politically motivated and that subsequent developments have justified revisiting how those events are reflected in congressional records.

Trump was impeached twice by the U.S. House of Representatives. The first impeachment, in 2019, centered on allegations related to his dealings with Ukraine. The second followed the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. In both cases, the Senate ultimately voted to acquit Trump, allowing him to remain in office.
