​US President Donald Trump and his allies are pushing members of Congress to pass a resolution aimed at voiding his first-term impeachments, a White House ⁠official said on Thursday.

Trump was impeached twice by the US House of Representatives during his first four years in office. He escaped being removed from office in both cases, and his anger over the impeachments helped fuel ‌his 2024 presidential election win over Democrat Kamala Harris.

“It’s no surprise ⁠that sane individuals are recognising these sham efforts ⁠and are interested in undoing those shameful actions,” said White House ‌spokeswoman Abigail Jackson.
