The Senate later acquitted Trump in February 2020, with only one Republican \u2014 Sen. Mitt Romney \u2014 voting to convict on one article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The president was impeached a second time in January 2021, just days after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, on a charge of \u201cincitement of insurrection.\u201d That impeachment made Trump the only president ever impeached twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Issa blasted the second impeachment as rushed and fundamentally unfair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThey impeached him for essentially an insurrection, a true high crime, and it\u2019s false,\u201d Issa said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The resolution argues House Democrats rammed the second impeachment through Congress in just two days without a full evidentiary process, fact witnesses, or an extended investigation. While lawmakers held a brief hearing with constitutional scholars, Republicans argued Trump was denied basic due process protections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump was acquitted by the Senate in February 2021 after falling short of the two-thirds threshold needed for conviction, though seven Republicans joined Democrats in voting guilty \u2014 the largest bipartisan vote to convict a president in impeachment history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Issa also accused Democrats of violating House norms throughout both proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A source close to Issa\u2019s office told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/gop-lawmaker-unveils-historic-move-expunge-maliciously-false-impeachments-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fox News Digital<\/a> that some Democrats have privately acknowledged information that emerged after the impeachments \u201creflects so poorly on the House\u201d and represents \u201can example of what\u2019s gone wrong in the Capitol and in Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The effort already has backing from powerful Republicans, including House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cDemocrats weaponized impeachment against President Trump with politically motivated charges,\u201d Jordan told Fox News Digital. \u201cWe applaud Chairman Issa for leading the fight to expunge this sham from the record.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>More than 20 House Republicans have signed on as co-sponsors, including Claudia Tenney, Tim Burchett, Harriet Hageman and Ronny Jackson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The push follows several failed Republican attempts to erase Trump\u2019s impeachments from congressional records. Similar resolutions introduced in 2022 and 2023 never received hearings, markups or floor votes before dying at the end of the previous Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Issa insists this latest effort is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe previous resolutions were not written as strongly as this one and didn\u2019t have what we have,\u201d he said, referring to what he called newly uncovered evidence of misconduct tied to the impeachment inquiries.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, constitutional scholars remain divided over whether Congress can truly \u201cerase\u201d an impeachment. Supporters argue the Constitution gives the House the \u201csole Power of Impeachment,\u201d meaning lawmakers also control their own records and can vote to expunge prior actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critics counter that Congress cannot undo the historical fact that the House impeached a president, even if lawmakers later condemn or annotate the process as flawed. In practice, many legal experts say the effort would be largely symbolic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Issa, however, says symbolism matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cOur goal is to show that it\u2019s false and it was maliciously false,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you\u2019ve been falsely accused, whether it\u2019s days, weeks, months or years later, somebody should be just as interested in printing that retraction on the front page as they were in putting the original charge on the front page.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class= \"house-ad\"><center><p class= \"sponsored\">Sponsored<\/p><strong><span style=\" color:#ff0004\" class=\" has-inline-color has-text-align-center\"><a href= \"https:\/\/secure.winred.com\/kennedy\/29ed3a76-1a70-4341-bb5a-64fcf6099096?utm_term=db-kennedy-em63-003&#038;source_code=db-kennedy-em63-003&#038;recurring=true&#038;vin=b3823499-026e-4dc2-8e63-054534f791d7\"> John Kennedy here.
