McCarthy refrains from demanding Biden impeachment inquiry for now, but may consider it later.

Speaker McCarthy:⁢ Actions by ⁢House Uncovered Could Lead ⁤to ‌Impeachment Inquiry

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) stated that while ​he is not currently calling for an impeachment ⁣inquiry into President Joe Biden, he believes that ​the House’s investigations have revealed actions that “could rise” to that level in​ the future.

However, McCarthy made⁤ it clear that he is not ruling out impeachment altogether.

Uncovering Information

During an appearance on Fox News, McCarthy⁤ emphasized that the information uncovered by the House Oversight, Judiciary,⁢ and Ways and Means⁣ committees is ⁣”rising to​ the level of impeachment⁤ inquiry.”

Yet, on the following day, McCarthy clarified his stance, explaining that⁣ he wants to see where the facts from⁣ the​ investigations lead⁢ before making a definitive call ⁤for an impeachment inquiry.

“It wasn’t ‌an announcement,” McCarthy told reporters. “I simply said that the actions⁢ that I’m seeing⁣ by this administration, withholding the agencies ‍from being able to work with us, that would rise to​ the⁣ level ⁣of an impeachment inquiry. We still⁣ have a number of investigations going forward.”

Continued Investigation

McCarthy emphasized ​that ⁤the⁣ House’s position regarding ⁣an impeachment inquiry remains unchanged, and they ⁣are actively‌ gathering more ⁢information on ‌President Biden and his family’s foreign business dealings.

He specifically​ referenced testimony from two Internal Revenue Service whistleblowers ⁣who ⁤claimed that the Justice ​Department prevented them ⁣from interviewing Hunter Biden. Additionally,⁤ McCarthy mentioned an unverified FBI-generated document that alleges⁢ Joe and Hunter Biden received $5 ‌million from a Ukrainian energy‍ company in exchange for pressuring the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor investigating the company.

McCarthy argued that the Department of Justice’s failure‌ to provide this ‌document‍ to investigators, as alleged by the⁣ whistleblowers, indicates interference in Hunter Biden’s‌ investigation.

Furthermore, McCarthy​ expressed ‌concern over the slow response from agencies involved in the investigation, such ‍as the​ Justice Department, IRS, and U.S. Secret ‍Service, in providing employees for transcribed interviews. He suggested that this delay could also contribute to the potential for ‍an impeachment inquiry.

Seeking the Truth

McCarthy stressed ‍that ‌if ⁢government departments deny‌ the House’s requests ⁤for information, similar to the actions of ​Richard Nixon, it would warrant⁤ an impeachment inquiry. This would empower‍ both Republicans and Democrats in Congress to obtain the necessary information for the‌ American public and uncover the truth.

However, McCarthy informed Punchbowl News that he does not​ intend to call for or initiate‍ an impeachment inquiry ⁤this week.
