House Speaker Kevin McCarthy floats an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden

Source: Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy says Republican lawmakers may consider an impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden over unproven claims of financial misconduct, responding to enormous GOP pressure to demonstrate support for Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

In remarks Tuesday at the Capitol, McCarthy said the questions House Republicans are raising about the Biden family finances need to be investigated. So far, he acknowledged, the House’s probes have not proven any wrongdoing, but an impeachment inquiry “allows Congress to get the information to be able to know the truth.”

An impeachment inquiry by the House would be a first step toward bringing articles of impeachment. Such a probe could be as lengthy or swift as the House determines, potentially stretching into campaign season.

“We will follow this to the end,” he said, first floating the idea late Monday on Fox News.

To aid and abet the American people. They can’t win on what they can produce, but they can lie and hate and they have an audience for that.

If I were a young lad, as I once was, I would insist that Kevin

IMPEACH THIS!

I'm afraid "getting elected and acting like a Democrat" just aren't going to make the cut.

They got nothing, so they're just making shit up. Liars, bullies, and cowards. They can't stand it that Biden is squeaky clean, and their guy is evil incarnate.

moderates in blue states and districts their seats in 2024 (God willing). So the author is kind of misleading folks. The Senate has also indicated they don't favor impeachment as well. Impeachment won't happen before the election IMHO The stupid House Republican hearings have gone nowhere and been an embarrassment to Republicans.
