The Senate has voted to censure Trump because of his order to the DOJ to fabricate evidence against his political opponents. That is an impeachable crime on several counts, and could involve felony convictions if impeached and convicted by the Senate.

Meanwhile, this empty headed talking head omits the pertinent fact:
In 2024, the House adopted
H.Res. 1469 (118th Congress), a resolution condemning President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and 13 additional high-ranking officials in the President's administration for their roles in the withdrawal of U.S. armed forces from Afghanistan. The resolution stated that the "chaotic" withdrawal in 2021 "led to the injury and death of United States servicemembers, injury and death of Afghan civilians, abandonment of American civilians and our Afghan allies, and harm to the national security and international stature of the United States."
The House approved the resolution on September 25, 2024, the final day of legislative business prior to the presidential election.<a href="

censure.
This resolution followed earlier efforts during the 117th Congress to condemn and censure the President for the "decision to execute a haphazard military withdrawal from Afghanistan" (
H.Con.Res. 49) and to censure the President for failure to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed" (
H.Res. 493). (See the "Censure Attempts, No Resolution Adopted" section of this report.)
