The reporting

What the Evidence Shows

In mid-2025, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History temporarily removed references to President Donald Trump's two impeachments from an exhibit on the limits of presidential power. This removal was part of a broader review of legacy content and occurred amid political pressures and institutional considerations.

However, multiple credible sources, including statements from Smithsonian officials, confirm that this removal is temporary. The institution has announced plans to update the exhibit and restore all impeachments, including those of President Trump, in the near future. This restoration is expected to happen within weeks from early August 2025, reflecting a commitment to presenting a comprehensive historical record despite prior temporary omissions.
