Speaker Kevin McCarthy suggested that House Republicans may be approaching the point where theyd pursue an impeachment investigation into President Joe Biden. It is the California Republicans most explicit threat of impeaching the president to date. McCarthys comments come amid a series of congressional investigations in the Republicanled House that have targeted Biden his administration and his family members most prominently his son Hunter. In response the White House criticized House Republicans eagerness to attack the president regardless of the truth. Instead of focusing on the real issues Americans want us to address like continuing to lower inflation or create jobs this is what the HouseGOP wants to prioritize, a White House spokesperson tweeted Monday night. The House voted in June to send a resolution offered by GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado to committee effectively pausing a move to bring a privileged motion to the floor that would have forced members to vote on impeaching Biden. At the time McCarthy urged his conference to vote against the resolution. The new letter from the Justice Department proposes several dates in September and October when Weiss would be willing to testify to the House Judiciary Committee. has reported that Weiss has offered to testify at a public congressional hearing this fall according to a letter sent to lawmakers on Monday. In previous letters to Congress Weiss has maintained that he was granted ultimate authority over this matter including responsibility for deciding where when and whether to file charges. McCarthy has also previously reported that he personally backed the idea of expunging the former presidents two impeachments and would bring it up to the conference to gauge support. The White House has criticized the House GOP for its eagerness. to go after POTUS regardless ofthe truth is seemingly bottomless, a spokesperson Ian Sams tweeted Monday evening. It comes as the House speaker is increasingly under pressure by hardline conservatives in his party to investigate the president and his administration. House Republicans have also floated possible impeachment inquiries against Garland and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The Republican-led House has also demanded that US Attorney David Weiss a Donald Trump appointee answer questions about allegations from two IRS whistleblowers that the tax investigation in the Hunter Biden criminal probe was tainted by political interference claims Weiss and Attorney General Merrick Garland denied. The GOP has demanded that Weiss testify about the tax probe in a letter to Congress on Monday and he has said he is willing to do so. The Justice Department has denied the allegations and has said that Weiss was given the authority to decide when and where to file the tax charges against the former Vice President’s son Hunter Biden. The IRS has said it will not comment on the matter until the matter is fully investigated by the Department of Justice in the coming weeks. The US Attorney for the District of New Jersey has also said that he will not testify before Congress about the IRS tax probe into Hunter Biden’s plea deal as part of the plea deal. He has been asked to testify before a House committee in the fall but he has declined to say whether or not he will testify before that committee. The Senate Judiciary Committee has also asked him to testify.
