'Outrageous'Experts shred McCarthy's idea to cancel Trump's impeachment
"House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told a reporter this week that he is open to the idea of "expunging" former President Donald Trump's second impeachment from the record.
The former president was issued this sanction by a bipartisan vote of the House in the days immediately after the January 6 attack, on the charge of inciting an insurrection — and only narrowly escaped conviction in the Senate as several Republicans there joined with Democrats in support of removal and disqualification.
"I would understand why members would want to bring that forward," said McCarthy, adding that the House would "look at" this idea. This comes as the Speaker, who was narrowly elected after a week of obstruction by hardliners, has triggered tension among his colleagues over a potential backroom deal he might have made to get far-right lawmakers opposed to him to stand down.
The reaction from Capitol Hill lawmakers to McCarthy's remarks was muted on both sides, but some legal experts on Twitter were quick to shoot down the idea."
