Is this why President Trump was so hell bent on McCarthy being Speaker?:
McCarthy says he will look at expunging Trump impeachment
Speaker of the House, US Rep Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), said on Thursday that he would consider expunging one or both of former President Trump’s impeachments as the Republican-led House of Reps seeks to reverse some of the most scandalous and historic government corruption that happened under Democrats over the past seven years.
“In December 2019, the House impeached President Donald Trump on two counts of abuse of power and obstruction of justice. Trump had withheld almost $400 million in congressionally-approved military aid to Ukraine, unless the country agreed to investigate Joe Biden’s son Hunter’s business dealings in the country,” according to Government Track Insider, who reported on the situation, adding:
In February 2020, the Senate acquitted Trump on both counts, so he remained in office for the remainder of his term. (The chamber was controlled by Republicans at the time.) In other words, the House impeachments were something of a slap on the wrist, but Trump faced no actual consequences as a result.
Democrats still celebrated it as something of a partial victory. “Whatever happens, he will be impeached forever,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA12) said.
Others felt differently. “Should they expunge the impeachment in the House? They should because it was a hoax,” Trump said.
