Under pressure from the White House, the Smithsonian has removed President Trump from its impeachment exhibit at the Museum of American History.
The exhibit now states that "only three presidents have faced impeachment," referring to Johnson, Nixon, and Clinton.
The exhibit now looks much like it did in 2008.

Trump wants Americans to report signs in National Parks that “inappropriately disparage Americans past or living.” These signs will be removed from public view; effectively whitewashing history.
Please help preserve American stories. If you visit a National Park this summer, consider taking photos of any signage that you see. Photos will be preserved and archived for future generations.
According to internal documents reviewed by The New York Times, employees of the #NationalParkService have flagged descriptions & displays at scores of parks and historic sites for review in connection with #Trump’s directive to remove or cover up materials that “inappropriately disparage Americans.”
