Overview
- On August 8 the National Museum of American History completed its Impeachment case update, restoring Trump’s entries alongside 2019 and 2021 trial tickets acquired in June.
- The revised label adds “alleged” to the 2020 impeachment description and deletes phrases about repeated false statements and “imminent lawless action” from the 2021 entry.
- Museum leaders say the July removal of a temporary Trump placard stemmed from its failure to meet appearance and presentation rules and its obstruction of case objects.
- The institution insists no administration or White House official requested content changes despite criticism that the episode reflects broader political scrutiny following a Trump executive order.
- A full gallery overhaul covering all presidential impeachments remains pending further funding and curatorial work.
