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

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — 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. McCarthy said that if the administration “denies us the ability to get the information we’re asking for, that would rise to an impeachment inquiry.” Jaime Harrison, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said Tuesday in a statement that McCarthy “has made sure the House majority is little more than an arm” of Trump’s 2024 campaign. “This is another political stunt intended to help Trump.” A Biden impeachment may divide the ranks of McCarthy’s House GOP majority, as moderate Republicans pan the effort. “We need to expunge,” she said of Trump’s two impeachments, and “we must impeach Joe Biden.” House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats would oppose Republican efforts to open a Biden impeachment inquiry “because it’s not anchored in facts or reality.
