(Washington Insider Magazine) – House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, during an appearance on Fox News, hinted that the ongoing GOP investigations into Joe Biden’s family’s foreign business engagements could escalate into an impeachment inquiry. Citing newly revealed information and findings from GOP-led probes, McCarthy stated that evidence warrants the power an inquiry would bring, giving Congress deeper access to the information needed.
In his conversation with Sean Hannity, McCarthy claimed that President Biden’s family received foreign funds, challenging Biden’s previous assurances of non-involvement and statements that no family member had profited from foreign deals. McCarthy referenced testimony from IRS whistleblowers who allege delays in prosecuting Hunter Biden’s tax violations, as well as House investigations tracing millions from foreign sources to Biden family accounts via shell companies.
The White House pushed back, with spokesman Ian Sams criticizing the GOP’s focus on the inquiry, accusing them of prioritizing political attacks over issues like inflation and job creation. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre echoed similar sentiments, refuting any claims that President Biden conducted business with his son.
This development follows the recent release of an FBI document containing unverified corruption allegations linked to Hunter Biden’s association with Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company. McCarthy’s remarks also come as Hunter’s former associate, Devon Archer, prepares to testify, allegedly confirming that Hunter would include his father in business discussions with foreign partners. Archer, facing jail time for unrelated charges, could further implicate Hunter’s business dealings.
Adding to the turmoil, McCarthy hinted at a potential impeachment inquiry into Attorney General Merrick Garland, citing IRS whistleblower claims that Garland hindered the special counsel status of the prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden.
