The top Democratic member of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability called for an end to the Republican-led impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden after the Justice Department special counsel indicted a witness for making 'false' statements to the FBI.
member of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability called for an end to the Republican-led impeachment inquiry into President, an informant with the FBI since 2010, allegedly made false claims to the bureau in 2020 about the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paying the president and his son Hunter Biden $5 million each. The claim has been central to House Republicans’ corruption allegations against Joe Biden.
Rep. Jamie Raskin said the indictment from special counsel David Weiss showed “how key evidence at the heart of House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry is based on a lie.” “In a detailed indictment, Special Counsel David Weiss—who was appointed by former President Donald Trump—has demonstrated how key evidence at the heart of House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry is based on a lie,” Raskin said in a. “Special Counsel Weiss’s investigation is just the most recent to debunk the Ukraine-Burisma conspiracy theory at the heart of this fraudulent impeachment inquiry.”
“It is an undeniable fact that Republicans’ allegations against President Biden have always been a tissue of lies built on conspiracy theories, and I formally call on Speaker Johnson, Chairman Comer, and House Republicans to stop promoting this nonsense and end their doomed impeachment inquiry,” Raskin added.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer , a leader in the impeachment efforts against Joe Biden, said on Thursday the indictment of Smirnov doesn’t undermine the House GOP’s impeachment inquiry.“To be clear, the impeachment inquiry is not reliant on the FBI’s FD-1023.
