President Trump said Congress should expunge his impeachment from the record following his acquittal on Wednesday.

In front of the White House on Friday, Trump was asked by a reporter about whether he believed his impeachment should be expunged from the congressional record.

“They should, because it was a hoax," he said.

“That was a very good question," he continued. "Should they expunge the impeachment in the House? They should because it was a hoax. It was a total political hoax.”

Earlier this week, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he would try to expunge Trump’s impeachment from the House record if Republicans won back the majority and he became speaker.

“This is the fastest, weakest, most political impeachment in history. I don’t think it should stay on the books," the California Republican said.

Trump also told reporters on Friday that his administration is reunifying the country following a divisive impeachment fight that ended in acquittal this week in the Senate.

“All you have to do is look at our crowds and our support. What unifies it is the great success. Our country today is more successful than it has ever been. And that is unifying the country," he said.
