Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, McCarthy: Impeachment of Biden is the "natural next step" for the President | Biden | Speaker
According to the Congressional Hill, on the 27th local time, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives and Republican McCarthy talked about the possibility of an impeachment investigation into President Biden, stating that this move is a "natural step forward" after the Republican led investigation into Biden and his family in the House.
According to reports, in a program, McCarthy was asked if he would launch an impeachment investigation into Biden in September after the summer recess of the US Congress. He talked about the Republican investigation into the financial situation of the Biden family in the House of Representatives, saying, "If you look at all the information we have so far, initiating an impeachment investigation is a natural next step."
McCarthy stated that the impeachment investigation into Biden will give Congress the highest legal power to obtain all the information they need.
According to previous reports, the investigation into the Biden family mainly revolves around the business activities of his son Hunter Biden at an energy company in Ukraine during the period of former US Vice President Biden.
Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to two federal criminal tax charges in June and reached an agreement with prosecutors on one gun charge. However, the agreement broke down during the confession hearing in July, and the case reached a deadlock.
At the end of July, McCarthy stated that the investigation by House Republicans into the Biden family's overseas business activities may "escalate to the level of an impeachment investigation.".
Recently, Republican investigations into the Biden family have escalated once again. US Attorney General Garland announced on August 11th local time that a special prosecutor has been appointed to investigate the case of President Biden's son Hunter Biden. The report states that this is considered a significant escalation of the investigation into Hunter Biden before the 2024 US election.
