Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy is ready to green-light an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden based on the bombshell findings of several House-controlled committees.
From Newsmax:
McCarthy is set to tell a closed-door meeting of House Republicans that an impeachment inquiry is the “logical next step,” in the GOP’s investigations into Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
Thursday’s meeting has been called so GOP House members can get an update on the probes headed by House Oversight Committee Chair, James Comer, R-Ky., and House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.
Punchbowl noted that McCarthy will announce that the two chairs have found sufficient information that requires the House to formalize an impeachment inquiry. The inquiry is seen as a way to get the Bidens’ bank records.
Punchbowl reported that the two probes have yet to come up with any direct evidence showing the president personally profited off his son’s foreign business dealings.
Several Republicans — including Reps. Don Bacon of Nebraska and Ken Buck of Colorado have expressed skepticism over the need for an inquiry.
Last month, McCarthy said an impeachment inquiry would only be opened with an official House vote.
“To open an impeachment inquiry is a serious matter, and House Republicans would not take it lightly or use it for political purposes. The American people deserve to be heard on this matter through their elected representatives,” McCarthy told Breitbart News in a statement. “That’s why, if we move forward with an impeachment inquiry, it would occur through a vote on the floor of the People’s House and not through a declaration by one person.”
218 lawmakers will need to support the inquiry.
