Trump Allies Discuss Resolution To Void President’s Two Impeachments

Trump later downplayed his own involvement in the initiative, saying, “If they want to do it, I’m honored by it.”

The effort is not expected to move forward until after the November election, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Even then, several Republican lawmakers have acknowledged that securing enough votes to pass such a resolution could prove difficult.

House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed he has discussed the proposal with Trump and other legal allies of the president.

Johnson said he has also spoken with Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz and conservative attorney Jay Sekulow, who represented Trump during his first impeachment proceedings.

“I think it makes a lot of sense the more the evidence comes out, the more we know they really were sham impeachments,” Johnson said.

“It is a priority and something that Congress should make right,” he added.
