Background on the Impeachments Trump was acquitted by the Senate in both cases and faced no removal from office. Legal experts told The Journal that any resolution would be largely symbolic because the Constitution does not provide a mechanism to formally clear impeachments.
” Johnson confirmed he had spoken with Trump and legal experts about the idea.
Trump was convicted in 2024 on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records tied to payments made before the 2016 election. The conviction carried no sentence or penalties. Trump has appealed the verdict in state court and filed a third motion to move the case to federal court. A federal judge is reviewing that motion. The other three criminal cases against Trump have been dropped.
