The Biden White House accused SpeakerMcCarthy of repeatedly 'lying' during his Monday night interview with seanhannity. McCarthy has recently flirted with launching an impeachment inquiry into JoeBiden regarding his family's business dealings.

The Biden White House accused House Speaker Kevin McCarthy Tuesday of repeatedly"lying" during his Monday night interview with Fox News's Sean Hannity.

McCarthy has recently flirted with launching an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden regarding his family's business dealings, a move that even some Republicans have criticized, and White House Counsel spokesman Ian Sams wrote in a memo published Tuesday afternoon that McCarthy repeated three"debunked" lies on Hannity to keep that"baseless" narrative alive.

Second, he cited McCarthy's claim that a"Russian oligarch" paid the Biden family $3.5 million after the then-vice president exited the Obama administration. "Despite the efforts of Senate Republicans and former President Trump to spread this claim during the 2020 campaign, it has been debunked," the memo reads. "The Washington Post fact checked this claim years ago and found it false — describing the 'flimsiness of the allegation' and stating that the Post 'found no evidence that Hunter Biden was part of those transactions.

"Speaker McCarthy has decided the truth should not get in the way of his and House Republicans’ relentless efforts to smear the President. They are prioritizing their own extreme, far-right political agenda at the expense of focusing on what really matters to the American people: working together to make their lives better," Sams's memo concludes.
