McCarthy's Secret Promise to Trump: Expunging Impeachments

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy denies making a promise to former President Donald Trump that the House would hold a vote before the August recess on expunging Trump's past impeachments. McCarthy has previously expressed support for symbolic resolutions seeking to expunge the impeachments, but the measure lacks enough GOP votes to pass. The resolutions, introduced by Reps. Elise Stefanik and Marjorie Taylor Greene, aim to expunge Trump's first and second impeachments. However, the expungement resolutions cannot undo the impeachment votes, as they would still remain in the congressional record. McCarthy's neutrality in endorsing Trump has been a point of contention between the two.
