Summary

Today on Post Reports, national reporter Abigail Hauslohner outlines the expansion of President Trump’s travel ban. Beth Reinhard looks into how presidential pardoning has evolved under Trump. And Dan Balz explores whether a president can be impeached more than once.

In his first three years of office, Trump issued a record-low number of decisions on pardon requests and left thousands of petitioners in limbo.

Can a president be impeached more than once? How that process could go down.
