House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is once again discussing the possibility of initiating an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. McCarthy’s comments come as the House is preparing to debate government funding bills this week and as former President Donald Trump continues to call for Biden’s prosecution. McCarthy stated on Fox News that the information they have gathered is rising to the level of an impeachment inquiry. He reiterated his stance the following day, emphasizing that a formal inquiry is necessary to uncover the truth. However, the specific basis Republicans would use to justify impeachment remains unclear. McCarthy mentioned allegations regarding Biden’s family using shell corporations to receive foreign money and claims of favoritism by prosecutors towards Biden’s son. Regardless, no specific criminal charges were mentioned. McCarthy previously focused on a dispute over a federal prosecutor’s authority to charge Hunter Biden, with notes taken by IRS agents supporting McCarthy’s position. McCarthy stated that if someone is found to be lying, it would necessitate an impeachment inquiry. Since gaining control of the House, Republicans have expressed a desire to impeach a member of the Biden administration, though the potential target has varied over time. As of now, Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas are tied for the lead in terms of impeachment resolutions or bills filed against them. Other administration officials, such as Attorney General Merrick Garland and Vice President Kamala Harris, have fewer impeachment-related bills filed against them. However, some House Republicans have expressed interest in impeachment without specifying a particular individual. Trump has also accused Biden of corruption on his social media platform. Democrats have dismissed the impeachment talk as unfounded, urging Republicans to focus on legislative priorities rather than pursuing baseless claims.
