Trump Has a Plan to Wipe Out the Biggest Record of His First Term

President Donald Trump and his allies are plotting to push Congress to void his past two impeachments from the record—even though it’s not constitutionally possible. A measure to expunge Trump’s 2019 and 2021 impeachments likely wouldn’t be considered until after the midterm elections, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal Thursday night. “It should be done because I did nothing wrong,” Trump told the Journal. “It was a rigged deal—it was a whole rigged situation.”Experts said that the resolution would have little legal weight considering that the Constitution has no mechanism for expunging impeachments, and Republican lawmakers noted that it wouldn’t be easy to get enough support to pass the bill. The president’s plan to erase his impeachments gained new momentum in April, after the Trump administration published new documents related to his first impeachment that MAGA claimed undermined the credibility of the witnesses.In a show of fealty, California Representative Darrell Issa introduced legislation to have Trump’s impeachments “expunged as if such Articles had never passed the full House of Representatives.” Issa has claimed the president was “wrongfully accused” of the crimes that had him impeached. House Speaker Mike Johnson has taken up that mantle this time around. “I think it makes a lot of sense the more the evidence comes out, the more we know they really were sham impeachments,” he told the Journal. “They make a very compelling case that it should be expunged from the record, because it was a hyper-partisan attack job.”Johnson said that wiping Trump’s impeachment record was “not an order of first priority” but it was a priority all the same.In the case of his 2019 impeachment, there is a literal transcript of Trump’s phone call to the Ukrainian government demanding they dig up dirt on Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 election. As for his second impeachment, the president most certainly incited an insurrection on January 6, 2021.Issa’s measure has attracted 23 co-sponsors, but not every Republican seems interested in getting on board. Representative Don Bacon of Nebraska, who is retiring, suggested it was political suicide for his party. “Maybe they’ve given up on holding the majority? It’s silly. What happened is history.”But his impeachments are clearly still a sore spot for the grievance-addled president. On Thursday, Trump posted a lengthy screed attacking Representative Jamie Raskin, who led the House’s legal effort to impeach the president in 2021.

Former '60 Minutes' correspondent speculates Bari Weiss' days are numbered

Under conservative editor Bari Weiss's eight-month leadership at CBS News, the top-rated "60 Minutes" program has lost seven of its 10 correspondents and seen its editorial independence severely compromised through alleged political interference. On May 28 — dubbed "Black Thursday" by staff — Weiss fired correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, executive producer Tanya Simon, and executive editor Draggan Mihailovich in a single sweep, reported Variety. Days later, Scott Pelley was also fired after questioning Weiss's leadership publicly. Former correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi alleged Weiss cut a fully vetted report on Venezuelan migrants in El Salvador hours before airtime because the Trump administration declined comment. Among Pelley's accounts of Weiss' leadership style to The New York Times, he reported the controversial Editor-in-Chief demanded he contradict evidence when reporting on Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Instead of saying ICE shot a woman, Weiss demanded Pelley say she drove towards the officer. Critics denounced other problematic patterns, including a CBS Evening News segment stating, "Marco Rubio, we salute you," and allowing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the privilege of selecting his own "60 Minutes" interviewer. Before Weiss's purge and despite ongoing turmoil, the program just completed its 52nd consecutive season as top-rated news programming.“I have a feeling that Bari will not be overseeing ‘60 Minutes’ for very much longer," hoped longtime "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft, who retired in 2019.
