Trump Presses Congress for Symbolic Expungement of His Impeachments
- President Trump is urging Congress to pass a resolution to symbolically expunge his impeachments, calling them 'phony attacks'.
- Experts argue there is no constitutional basis for such an action, deeming it largely a political statement rather than a substantive legal measure.
- Critics, including Democratic representatives, warn that revisiting the impeachments could draw renewed attention to the allegations against Trump during the midterm elections.
