House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., announced on Thursday that he would consider expunging one or both impeachments of former President Donald Trump.
McCarthy was asked at a news conference whether he may entertain the prospect of an expungement now that Republicans control the House.
“I would understand why members would want to bring that forward,” McCarthy said of the possibility of expungement. “I understand why individuals want to do it, and we’d look at it.”
In January 2021, McCarthy condemned Trump for his role in the Capitol attack that resulted in the deaths of five people and over 140 injuries to law enforcement.
“The president bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob rioters,” McCarthy said on the House floor on Jan. 13, 2021. “He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. These facts require immediate action by President Trump.”
