Pressure from Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee is mounting on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to initiate an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. The scrutiny stems from allegations that Biden engaged in questionable business deals while he served as vice president and that he was aware of his son Hunter Biden’s payments from Chinese Communist Party-linked officials. The House lawmakers who exclusively spoke to Breitbart News expressed their support for McCarthy’s threat, although some voiced frustrations about the perceived lack of urgency. They also argued that the impeachment inquiry should extend beyond Biden to include members of his administration.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) stressed the importance of holding individuals in the Biden Administration accountable for corruption and the weaponization of government agencies for political gain. He specifically called out Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his handling of the border crisis. Another member of the Judiciary Committee, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY), highlighted recent whistleblower allegations regarding the Justice Department’s interference in an investigation related to the “big guy,” an apparent reference to President Biden. Hageman emphasized the need for an impeachment inquiry that would be free from political interference and urged the Judiciary Committee to immediately open an investigation.

Communications director Harrison Fields, representing Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), confirmed Donalds’ support for McCarthy’s sentiments. The timeline for initiating the impeachment proceeding remains uncertain, as McCarthy indicated that it would not commence this week. However, he hinted at approaching GOP lawmakers in the near future to request their support for the inquiry. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) speculated that an impeachment inquiry could be launched as early as September and expressed confidence in garnering bipartisan support for the truth-seeking investigation.
The increasing pressure from Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee to initiate an impeachment inquiry against President Biden raises serious concerns about his alleged involvement in questionable business deals and potential corruption. It is crucial for Congress to conduct a thorough investigation and uncover the truth behind these allegations. The potential extension of the inquiry to members of the Biden administration reflects the Republicans’ commitment to ensuring accountability and preventing the weaponization of government agencies for political purposes. As this process unfolds, it will be interesting to see if any Democrats join the bipartisan effort to uncover the facts.
