Overview
- The National Museum of American History has completed an update to its Impeachment case exhibit, reinstating President Trump’s two impeachments with minor wording changes.
- The first impeachment entry now describes Trump’s solicitation of foreign interference as “alleged,” while the second omits references to “false statements” and a quote linking his January 6 speech to imminent lawless action.
- The revised placard is positioned lower in the display case to align with other sections and avoid blocking key artifacts.
- Smithsonian officials say the July removal addressed exhibit inconsistencies, enabled a permanent installation and had no government or White House influence.
- The new display underscores the museum’s commitment to curatorial independence and reflects all presidential impeachments pending a comprehensive exhibit overhaul.
