has U.S. president.

That's a typo. Should read "as U.S. president".

What does "at least slightly" mean?

It refers to the previous phrase "impeachment talk is in the air".

  • If so, "Trump has served 118 days in office, as impeachment talk is in the air, at least slightly, after a report" mean "Trump has served 118 days in office, as impeachment talk is in the air, impeachment talk is in the air, after a report" ? If so, can we remove "at least slightly" from the sentence?

    If your question is "can we remove 'at least slightly' from the sentence" - yes.
