House Speaker Mike Johnson believes Joe Biden “very likely” committed impeachable offenses is committed to “follow the truth wherever it leads.”
Under his Speakership, Johnson said, the House investigation into whether the Biden family financially benefited from foreign connections during his time as Vice President. Johnson drew attention to possible bribery, listed in the Constitution as a reason for impeachment, saying, “Bribery’s listed there, and it looks and smells a lot like that.”
“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,” he explained.
The Speaker added, however, that House Republicans are “going to engage in due process because, again, we’re the rule of law party… [P]eople 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.”
House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer is currently pressing Biden on why he received a $200,000 check from James Biden on the same day his brother received a similar amount from a U.S. health corporation.
President Biden claims the check was repayment for a loan, but Rep. Comer is demanding evidence, asking White House consel Edward Siskel to “provide the loan documents, including the loan payment, loan agreement, and any other supporting loan documentation” that would substantiate Biden’s explanation.
