President Donald Trump and his allies are reportedly working to expunge his two impeachments from the congressional record. The effort would have little legal significance, according to a Wall Street Journal report citing sources.
A law professor at the University of North Carolina called the idea "an absurd idea." "Nobody thought that Congress had this power, because Congress doesn't have this power," the professor said. President Donald Trump stated in a phone call that the action should proceed because he did nothing wrong and described the impeachments as a rigged situation.
