According to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, President Joe Biden’s tenure as a non-impeached president may not last long. In an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News Monday night, McCarthy stated that the current investigations into the Biden family might give rise to reasons for impeaching the president. McCarthy has indicated that the unfolding evidence has now reached a point where an impeachment investigation is necessary.
McCarthy began his comments about Biden by noting that the president needed to be more honest with the American public about his participation in his son Hunter’s commercial activities. McCarthy pointed out that during Biden’s election campaign, he had claimed that he never talked about business with his family. Biden stated that his family has never received any money from China, but McCarthy said that they now have evidence to the contrary.
The House Speaker also highlighted information from IRS whistleblowers alleging that the Biden family received special treatment from U.S. Attorney David Weiss and Attorney General Merrick Garland in the federal criminal investigation into Hunter Biden. According to McCarthy, there is an FBI document called the 1023 form that includes a statement from an informant. The statement suggests that Joe and Hunter Biden were bribed with $5 million each by the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
He further argued that uncovering the extent of the Biden family’s corruption was made possible due to Republicans winning the majority in the House during the 2022 midterm elections. McCarthy emphasized that this situation had escalated to the point of requiring an impeachment inquiry, providing Congress with the power to obtain essential knowledge and information.
McCarthy drew a historical comparison between Biden’s utilization of government for his family’s gain and his obstruction of congressional oversight and Richard Nixon’s conduct during the Watergate scandal.
Hannity inquired whether Biden’s acceptance of millions of dollars from adversarial countries like China and Romania suggested that his family might be engaged in a “criminal enterprise.” In response, McCarthy questioned why the Biden family received money from countries with significant challenges rather than more typical sources.
McCarthy expressed his belief that the investigation would continue until its conclusion, leading to an impeachment inquiry as prescribed by the Constitution. He emphasized the necessity of finding answers to the pertinent questions surrounding the Biden family’s actions.
