As the House GOP’s investigation proceeds, new Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson asserts that there is “very likely” evidence of President Joe Biden’s impeachable crimes.
Johnson Confident ‘All the Evidence Leads Where We Believe It Will’
The Louisiana Republican informed Sean Hannity on Fox News that he will keep looking into whether the Biden family profited financially from contacts with foreign nations when Biden served as vice president. “The reason we shifted to the impeachment inquiry stage on the president himself was because if, in fact, all the evidence leads where we believe it will, that’s very likely impeachment,” Johnson stated.
Bribery Noted as a Cause of Impeachment
He pointed out that the Constitution lists bribery as a reason for impeachment, remarking, “Bribery’s listed there, and it looks and smells a lot like that.” Johnson promised, “We’re going to follow the truth wherever it leads.” “We’re going to engage in due process because, again, we’re the rule-of-law party.”
Attempts to Take a Dig at Democrats
In an apparent jab at Democrats who attempted to remove former President Donald Trump from office, he remarked, “I know people are getting anxious and they’re getting restless, and they just want somebody to be impeached, but we don’t do that like the other team.”
Biden Is Demanded to Explain $200,000 Check From Brother
“We have to base it on the evidence.” During the interview, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) pressed Biden to explain how, on the same day that he received an identical transfer from a US hospital company, he received a $200,000 check from his brother and made a vow to use his “political connections” to find a Middle Eastern investor.
Biden’s Relatives Hauled to Explain His Interactions With Countries Such as China and Ukraine
Having promised to bring Biden’s family before his panel “very soon” to explain the president’s contacts with their connections from nations like China and Ukraine, Comer pressed White House attorney Edward Siskel for information on what Biden loyalists claim is a loan payback between brothers.
Siskel Demanded to Explain Check’s Documents
Comer wrote to Siskel on Thursday, asking for the loan documents—including the loan payment, loan agreement, and any other supporting loan documentation—if Joe Biden did personally lend James Biden the money that was later returned by the $200,000 check.
Oversight Committee Chairman Publicly Scoffs at Six-Figure Check Garbed as Loan Repayment
The chairman of the Oversight Committee openly mocked the six-figure check for being a loan repayment and stated that there was no proof Joe Biden ever gave his brother that amount of money. This came after Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) claimed that documents indicated the loan was made roughly two months prior to the March 1, 2018, check. Comer wrote to Siskel, “The White House has claimed Joe Biden loaned James Biden $200,000, and this check was repayment.”
No Proof ‘That Joe Biden Made a Large Loan Payment to His Brother’
“Records obtained by the Committee do show numerous large incoming transactions into the personal account of James and Sara Biden from various entities. Some of these transaction records may have obscured the identity of the true payer, but no records in the Committee’s possession state that Joe Biden made a large loan payment to his brother.”
Comer Demands for “Applicable Documentation and IRS Filings”
Additionally, Comer requested “relevant records and IRS filings” that would verify the existence of the loan. Comer had previously requested special counsel Robert Hur to reveal whether any sensitive records that President Biden had wrongfully kept during his vice presidency had anything to do with nations where his son Hunter conducted business.
Biden Washes Hands off of Any Involvement in His Son’s and Brother’s Business Dealings
Hur was also questioned by Comer about “any limitations or scoping restrictions during the interview that would have precluded a line of inquiry regarding evidence (emails, text messages, or witness statements) directly linking Joe Biden to troublesome foreign payments,” as well as the extent of his office’s two-day interview with the president. The president has refuted any connection in the economic operations of his brother and son.
Biden Allegedly Used Pseudonyms Like ‘Big Guy’ to Discuss His Ukraine Activities With Son
It is anticipated that subpoenas for the president and his family’s bank data will be issued by House investigators. The Republicans further assert that Biden was referred to as “the big guy” by Hunter’s business acquaintances and that he participated in at least 24 calls with them. Additionally, they claim that while Joe Biden was vice president, he spoke with his son Hunter about his involvement in Ukraine using fictitious names.
McCarthy Under Intense Pressure, Receives Threats to Be Removed by Spokesmanship
This is a significant move that has a number of risks, such as upsetting moderate Republicans and several Republican senators who are dubious about the matter and creating strain with the White House during ongoing budget talks. Congress must approve federal funding by September 30th, failing which the government would shut down. McCarthy, though, is facing tremendous pressure to take this action from the conservative side of his party, including threats to remove him from the speakership of some of his fellow Republicans.
