In both cases, the process ended with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-isnt-first-president-arrested\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump\u2019s acquittal<\/a> after a Senate trial.<\/p>\n<p>The resolutions to wipe the record clean were offered by Republican Reps.

This type of maneuvering to expunge records has never been seen in American history before.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the historic nature of the move, it already has powerful support in the House.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>\u201cI think it is appropriate, just as I thought before, that you should expunge it because it never should have gone through,\u201d McCarthy said Friday, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/4065002-mccarthy-expunge-trump-impeachments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>House Majority Leader Steve Scalise noted last week after Democratic Rep.
