The Smithsonian said on Saturday that it would restore information about President Donald Trump’s two impeachments to an exhibit in the National Museum of American History “in the coming weeks.” The Washington Post reported on Thursday that in July, the museum removed a placard describing Trump's impeachments and reverted the exhibit to how it looked in 2008. That display says that “only three presidents have seriously faced removal” — Andrew Johnson, Richard M. Nixon and Bill Clinton.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House did not pressure the Smithsonian to remove references to President Donald Trump’s two impeachments from an exhibit and will include him in an updated presentation “in the coming weeks,” the museum said Saturday.
The revelation that Trump was no longer listed among impeached presidents sparked concern that history was being whitewashed to appease the president. … “We were not asked by any Administration or other government official to remove content from the exhibit,” the Smithsonian statement said.
A museum spokesperson, Phillip Zimmerman, had previously pledged that “a future and updated exhibit will include all impeachments,” but it was not clear when the new exhibit would be installed. The museum on Saturday did not say when in the coming weeks the new exhibit will be ready.
A label referring to Trump’s impeachments had been added in 2021 to the National Museum for American History’s exhibit on the American presidency, in a section called “Limits of Presidential Power.” The section includes materials on the impeachment of Presidents Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson and the Watergate scandal that helped lead to President Richard Nixon’s resignation.
