"Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden did lie to the American people about his own knowledge of his family's foreign business dealings. Eyewitnesses have testified that the president joined on multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions, dinners resulted in cars and millions of dollars into his sons and his son's business partners," McCarthy said.
Earlier, Fox News Digital confirmed that McCarthy will tell House Republicans today that beginning an impeachment inquiry against Biden is the "logical next step" for their investigations. An inquiry is the first step of the impeachment process, where evidence is gathered for the articles, or charges, of impeachment against an official.
In a statement responding to reports about the impending inquiry, White House spokesman for oversight and investigations Ian Sams blasted the effort as politically motivated. He accused McCarthy of advancing an impeachment probe to placate hardliners in the GOP conference.
"McCarthy is being told by [Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.] to do impeachment, or else she’ll shut down the government," Sams said. "Opening impeachment despite zero evidence of wrongdoing by POTUS is simply red meat for the extreme right wing, so they can keep baselessly attacking him."

Trump had no such soft treatment even when the charges were based on falsehoods.
Still bringin' the knife to the gunfight.
Dragged, kicking and screaming.
It’s more likely that the result of the inquiry impeaches me, versus pedo Joe.
It’s an important step, and actually I think it benefits the PR aspect in that a full-on impeachment, per se, at this stage would look more like tit-for-tat on the part of Republicans and potentially diminish the credibility of the evidence in the minds of the fair-minded people who need to be convinced.
They will just slow walk it until Biden collapses or croaks.
This is what a “squirrel” and “distraction” really looks like.
Biden’s lawyers can always claim “mental incapacity” at the end of the day.
My recommendation: do a censure and move on....
Don’t they need to do the investigation first ? The important thing is that it can be used against him in the campaign to give weight to Trump’s claim this is the most corrupt administration in history.
At least the ‘Listening Tour’ part prior to actual impeachment has officially been started.
Wasn’t it just yesterday, Mark Gaetz was calling for votes to remove Kevin McCarthy as speaker of house.
Now, all of a sudden, and after months of delay, Kevin has decided to get on with it.
Historical records matter.
Only three U.S. presidents have been impeached. They are Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.
Joe Biden needs to join the fraternity.
Yes they did the same. Good grief.
The good news of the day.
does this have anything to do with Gaetz’s statement yesterday that the speaker had to go
Oh, how long before the deranged DOJ and some more charges on Trump
As a distraction?
Yes, and I know they don't care about the Constitution but that doesn't mean we should forget about first principles.
I don’t see the GOP establishment going through with this. They won’t fight on any other issue and they don’t want to be seen as mean by their besties the MSM and the Democrats. Dog and pony show but no real action, the establishment will torpedo this at the appropriate time and the MSM/Democrats will praise the useless idiot(s) of the GOP who do this...
Good. It’s time for the biased goons running the MSM to be forced to cover a story about what a liar, thug and criminal President Sniffer really is. It might make them think twice before lying for democrats in the future.
I care more about DEFUNDING the stinking IRS, FBI new building, Special counsel’s office, impeachment inquiry is going NO WHERE in the senate! Our government has been weaponized and that is FAR MORE important than the bumbling old fool in the WH!! Obama is running the country you don’t think that IF Kamala gets into the WH that is NOT going to continue REALLY??
Bkmark
Can he actually say this with a straight face after all the political attacks they've done to Trump for years now?
It's reads like a satire piece from the Bee.
An attempt appease Conservatives while serving the Swamp.
Exactly. Joseph R. Biden's crimes should stand on their own. This impeachment process should not be regarded or treated as a vengeful reaction by one political party against another.
On a lighter note, Brandon, the serial liar, would provide for a delicious deposition event.
