Wall Street Journal [no paywall via Yahoo – see also The Guardian — Trump asking Congress for symbolic expunging of his two impeachments. President is first in US history to be impeached twice, over abuse of power and inciting an insurrection.] Republican-backed symbolic resolution would put lawmakers on record regarding the two impeachments during Trump’s first term. Mike Johnson told the Journal he has discussed the idea directly with Trump and has also had more detailed conversations with some of the president’s legal-world allies, including Alan Dershowitz and Jay Sekulow.

“I think it makes a lot of sense the more the evidence comes out, the more we know they really were sham impeachments,” Johnson said.

He added:

“We were saying it at the time, now we know. And they make a very compelling case that it should be expunged from the record, because it was a hyperpartisan attack job.”

Johnson said the push picked up about a month ago, and while the expungement effort was “not an order of first priority,” he insisted it remains on his list:

“It is a priority and something that Congress should make right.”
