House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has hinted at the possibility of launching an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. The suggestion comes in the wake of rumors surrounding the President's alleged connections to his son Hunter Biden's controversial overseas business dealings.
In a recent interview with Sean Hannity, McCarthy discussed the alleged payments that members of the Biden family received from both China and Romania. However, no evidence has yet surfaced to suggest that President Biden personally received any of these funds.
McCarthy accused the FBI of deliberately withholding information about the Bidens' alleged overseas shell companies from the IRS. He stated, "We now find information that 16 out of 17 payments from Romania were provided to the Biden shell companies while he was vice president."
The House Speaker further claimed that the information came from "credible whistleblowers" within the IRS. He added that the House of Representatives would not have been privy to this information "if Republicans had not taken the majority."
"We’ve only followed where the information has taken us," McCarthy continued. "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 drew parallels between President Biden and the Nixon administration, accusing the current President of weaponizing the government. He concluded, "I believe we will follow this all the way to the end, and this is gonna rise to an impeachment inquiry the way the Constitution tells us to do this."
This is not the first time a critic of the Biden administration has suggested the possibility of impeachment. As previously reported, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene also pushed for impeachment, accusing Biden of "endangering the security of the United States and thwarting the will of Congress." However, the White House dismissed Greene's articles of impeachment as a "shameless sideshow political stunt."
"The President is focused on what’s important to the American people," said White House spokesperson Ian Sams. "Like preventing House Republicans’ default that would crash the economy and protecting investments that are creating American manufacturing jobs, not silly political attacks."
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how these allegations will impact the Biden administration and the political landscape in the United States.
