The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History removed references to President Donald Trump in an exhibit about impeachments last month, after undergoing an internal review for “political or partisan influence.”
In September 2021, the museum added a temporary label including content about Trump’s impeachments to a display that had not been otherwise updated since 2008. The 2021 addition was intended to be a “short-term measure” to address “current events” at the time. A museum spokesperson confirmed to the Washington Examiner on Friday that museum staff recently reverted the impeachment section of the exhibition back to the 2008 version to match the status of the rest of the display. A future and updated exhibit “will include all impeachments,” the spokesperson said.
