McCarthy supports expunging Trump's impeachments but denies formal deal to hold vote

  • House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he would consider resolutions to expunge Trump's impeachments, but denies promising a vote before August recess.
  • Trump is frustrated that McCarthy did not endorse his 2024 bid after suggesting other GOP options may be stronger candidates.
  • Some Republicans worry an expungement vote could be politically risky and lack a legal basis, with no clear effect.
  • Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Elise Stefanik introduced separate resolutions to expunge each of Trump's impeachments.
  • Democrats argue attempts to erase impeachment charges are inappropriate and futile, while some Republicans see it as righting a wrong.
