McCarthy denies he promised Trump vote on expunging impeachments

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Thursday denied making a promise to former President Trump that the House would vote to expunge his impeachments, shooting down a report that said the GOP leader pledged the vote as a way to temper tensions with the former president.

“There’s no deal,” McCarthy told reporters Thursday, “but I’ve been very clear from long before when I voted against impeachments that they did it for purely political purposes.”

“I support expungement but there’s no deal out there,” he added.

Those comments contradict a Thursday morning report from Politico Playbook that McCarthy assured Trump that the House would vote to erase his impeachments, citing a source close to Trump and familiar with the conversation.

Can impeachments be expunged? Would there be any practical effect of a house resolution that says “Trump’s impeachments are expunged”?

.
If you watch the McCarthy interviews, any one, He wants no part of any Biden Impeachment.

He’s blocking Biden Impeachment.

Knowing how DC works, I think he made a deal that he wouldn’t allow a Biden Impeachment Inquiry.

He undercuts his guy’s because if you believe their Hearings and Pressers - How can you not have an Impeachment Inquiry of Biden where the subpoena power is full.

McCarthy is the deep state playing a con game.

Expunging impeachments? That’s about #50 on the list of Something-Burgers, last time I looked.
