I was just checking to see if this was a specific instance or if there was a certain news outlet that did so recently.

I don't know of any news outlets doing so. But apparently Trump made that particular misrepresentation by retweating a meme in 2019.

The meme in question was basically an electoral college map like that top image in the OP with "Impeach This" or "Try To Impeach This" across the top.

And if you want to see the actual tweet in question but twitter (I refuse to call it "X") is a huge asshole about it, here's a link to the tweet Trump retweeted on Archive.org:
