"McCarthy's Secret Promise to Trump: Expunging Impeachments Denied"

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy privately expressed support for expunging former President Donald Trump's two impeachments during a call with Trump, but did not promise to bring it to a vote on the House floor. McCarthy has been trying to mend his relationship with Trump after a recent interview in which he did not fully endorse Trump's 2024 presidential bid. However, it is unlikely that there are enough votes to pass an expungement resolution, and it is unclear if expunging an impeachment is even possible. Trump's allies have been pushing for a House vote to expunge the impeachments, but the procedural consequences and effectiveness of such a resolution remain uncertain.
