The House Speaker, who is currently battling to keep far-right members in line, said an impeachment inquiry would be a “natural step forward.”
. On what grounds, exactly? They’re still working that out. But House Speaker, who has gone back and forth with his conference on the impeachment question, all but endorsed such a move Sunday—and even attempted to use the promise of an impeachment inquiry to get some of his most extreme members to back off their threats to shut down the government.
Such an inquiry, he said, “provides Congress the apex of legal power to get all the information they need.” Thus far, Republican investigators have failed to produce evidence of wrongdoing by the president—and not for lack of trying. Not only have they investigated him over everything from his son’s business dealings to his border policies to his supposed “weaponization of the federal government”—they have at timesover who would get to lead the impeachment charge. But they haven’t established any misconduct by Biden himself, instead offering up insinuation about his supposed impropriety on cable news.
Some far-right lawmakers have been clamoring for a Biden impeachment since the GOP assumed its narrow House majority earlier this year—to the chagrin, at times, of McCarthy, who worked earlier this summer to. But the House speaker has expressed more support for the idea in recent months; in July, hethat the House probe into the Biden family was “rising to the level of impeachment inquiry,” though he stopped short of formally calling for one.
