TL/DR –
The article discusses the ongoing impeachment inquiry against President Biden by GOP lawmakers. Some Republicans are expressing doubts about the lack of substantial evidence to support their accusations, while the committee chairmen continue to allege Biden’s role in a foreign bribery scheme involving his family. The White House has dismissed these allegations and urges Republicans to join them in focusing on issues of national importance, whereas the chair of the Oversight Committee has hinted at a shift towards referring potential criminal charges against the Biden family to the Justice Department.
Biden Faces GOP Lawmakers Amid Impeachment Inquiry Cloud
As Biden enters the House floor tonight, he confronts GOP lawmakers spearheading a prolonged impeachment probe against him and his family. Yet, some Republicans are voicing growing worries about the inquiry’s progress and the absence of substantial evidence supporting the committee chairmen’s allegations.
Rep. Garret Graves, R-La., stated on Friday, “The evidence should dictate the path of the investigation. If the aim was ‘we’re going to impeach him’ from the onset, this is flawed. The value of impeachment has been lowered recently, which is perilous for this institution.”
The Republican chairmen helming the investigation committees claim Biden is central to an intricate foreign bribery plot, implicating his son, Hunter Biden, and brother, James Biden. The White House continues to brush off these accusations and demands an end to the impeachment inquiry.
“House Republicans should cease pursuing baseless allegations and unite with President Biden and Congressional Democrats to address American people’s real concerns,” declared Ian Sams, the White House spokesperson for oversight and investigations, in a previous statement.
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the Oversight Committee chair, is yet to announce when he expects the impeachment articles to reach the floor. However, he hinted last night that the probe might soon suggest criminal charges against Biden’s family members to the Department of Justice.
“Accountability looks like criminal referrals. It appears as referrals to the Department of Justice,” Comer declared on Fox News. “If Merrick Garland’s Justice Department dismisses potential criminal referrals, the next president’s attorney general might take them seriously.”
