House Speaker open to impeaching President Biden
WASHINGTON (AA) – House Speaker McCarthy has said that Republicans will continue to pursue their inquiries against President Biden and may lead to an impeachment.
He hinted that he will elevate ongoing investigations into Biden and his family into a formal impeachment inquiry.
“We’ve only followed where the information has taken us. But this is rising to the level of impeachment inquiry, which provides Congress the strongest power to get the rest of the knowledge and information needed,” McCarthy told Fox News late Monday.
McCarthy had shut down previous attempts to impeach Biden from far-right members of his caucus, saying they have been premature, in part because he is going to need near-uniform support to move the process through the chamber where the party holds a razor-thin majority.
The White House has dismissed the possibility of impeachment, saying that it is a distraction from Biden’s economic record.
“Instead of focusing on the real issues Americans want us to address like continuing to lower inflation or create jobs, this is what the @HouseGOP wants to prioritize. Their eagerness to go after @POTUS regardless of the truth is seemingly bottomless,” said spokesperson Ian Sams.
President’s son Hunter Biden has featured prominently in the probes, including a plea deal he struck with prosecutors on tax evasion and gun charges.
Republicans want U.S. Attorney David Weiss to come before Congress to testify on the deal. But Weiss has denied the allegations of political interference.
Another probe into the Biden family’s foreign business dealings also has Hunter Biden at the center. But there has been little momentum in gathering facts to substantiate any sort of wrongdoing.
Still, McCarthy maintained that Republicans will continue to pursue their inquiries, maintaining they will lead to an impeachment.
“I believe we will follow this all the way to the end. And this is going to rise to an impeachment inquiry the way the Constitution tells us to do this, and we have to get the answers to these questions,” he said.
