"Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden did lie to the American people about his own knowledge of his family's foreign business dealings. Eyewitnesses have testified that the president joined on multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions, dinners resulted in cars and millions of dollars into his sons and his son's business partners," McCarthy said.
Earlier, Fox News Digital confirmed that McCarthy will tell House Republicans today that beginning an impeachment inquiry against Biden is the "logical next step" for their investigations. An inquiry is the first step of the impeachment process, where evidence is gathered for the articles, or charges, of impeachment against an official.
In a statement responding to reports about the impending inquiry, White House spokesman for oversight and investigations Ian Sams blasted the effort as politically motivated. He accused McCarthy of advancing an impeachment probe to placate hardliners in the GOP conference.
"McCarthy is being told by [Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.] to do impeachment, or else she’ll shut down the government," Sams said. "Opening impeachment despite zero evidence of wrongdoing by POTUS is simply red meat for the extreme right wing, so they can keep baselessly attacking him."

What do you not understand about “SLOW WALKING” this thru? /s
Took long enough!
Biden is a figurehead.
Impeach Obama’s minions instead.
Not sure myself. It is a way to keep Biden & cie. in public eye. There are so many clueless voters and constituents that chronic exposure would *maybe* enlighten them...maybe.
That’s what they did to Trump when he was president.I am fairly certain that many 14 year olds in 2016 were convinced to vote against Trump in 2020 due to all the false charges against Trump.
Actually, everyone’s missing the point. An impeachment inquiry gives Congress unlimited subpoena power to DOJ cannot refuse it subpoenas for information they cannot use the excuse of pending investigation.
Sorry about the English. Used text to speech. I should have edited it first.
This is going to come as a shock to the Left and Democrat/Communists as the media they expose themselves to have not covered this to any extent ... if at all.
I have to wonder if he is ONLY doing this because Gaetz threatened him with impeachment ?
If so it will probably be a lackluster affair.
Tot for tat would be two impeachments.
It’s bigger than little Kevin. He’d better either get up to the job or get out of the way.
Uniparty theatre. Cover the headlines with impeachment inquiry going nowhere while surrendering on spending. He already surrendered the debt ceiling.
And impeach the second tier sycophants...Garland...Myorkis.... Wrey...and others less memorable that I forgot....impeach em all.
And slap em all with a RICO indictment against the American peple...45 to 100 years in Levanworth.
Watch how fast they sweep Crooked Joe out of D.C., they won’t sit back and let this play out, he’s gotta go.
The Marxists will have a new, worse replacement in there in less than 60 days.
> Actually, everyone’s missing the point. An impeachment inquiry gives Congress unlimited subpoena power to DOJ cannot refuse it subpoenas for information they cannot use the excuse of pending investigation.
This.
...although I suspect that if pushed, the DOJ will choose the “wrong” path...
A House impeachment vote might not even pass. Impeachment inquiry vote would have a better chance. And GOP rep Santos might not be there by the time they would vote.
Um, move on to what?
Right! and what about that vote for the inquiry that Kevin said was needed weeks ago?
Nancy Mace doesn’t want to impeach Joe Biden.
The Democrats control the Senate.
They will just appoint and confirm new minions.
Thank God Kevin did this.
And he did it the right way, slowly, methodically, thorough so that there will be...as there always are...MINIMUM complaints.
“These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption.”
He concluded: “And they warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives. That’s why today I am directing our house committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.”
WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Congrats McCarthy and Republicans in the House!!!
GO GET HIM!!!!
