This week, things haven’t been great for those seeking to be elected President of the United States next year. Leading the way, former President Donald Trump is set to turn himself into Fulton County authorities after being charged under the RICO Act in Georgia. Following behind Trump, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum is reportedly unable to participate in the first presidential debate after suffering a leg injury while playing basketball earlier this week. Now, it appears that the Speaker of the House is gearing up to launch an impeachment inquiry into the actions of President Joe Biden and members of his family.
“If they provide us the documents, there wouldn’t be a need for an impeachment inquiry,” Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said, according to The Hill.
“But if they withhold the documents and fight like they have now to not provide to the American public what they deserve to know, we will move forward with impeachment inquiry when we come back into session.”
McCarthy did not specify what specific documents he’s looking for or who would be in possession of them. With that said, this is the most direct he has been in calling for an impeachment inquiry into the sitting President.
“If they hold that up, we would have to move to an impeachment inquiry,” McCarthy continued, according to The Hill.
“Which you know, Larry, gives the apex of power to Congress when it comes to our subpoena power and others to get the documents we need. The bank statements, the credit card statements and others. Show us where the money went, show us were you taking money from outside sources? And that would clear most of this up, but they seem to fight it every step of the way.”
