Comer’s Word on Biden Impeachment was ‘Imminent’
House Republicans are closing in on an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, with some members calling for action as soon as next month when Congress reconvenes.
Rep. James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said on Thursday that he believes an impeachment inquiry is “imminent.”
Comer told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday that there would likely be a vote soon on opening an impeachment inquiry.
“There’s consensus in our conference now that we are going to have to go to the impeachment inquiry,” Comer said. “Obviously, that will be Speaker McCarthy’s call, but I feel like we’re there now, Sean. I feel like that is imminent.”
“I am here to tell you, Sean, Joe Biden was front and center,” Comer said. “He met with every one of these people that he claimed he never met with, that he never spoke to, and we are putting together the timeline where Hunter Biden was traveling to many of these countries on Air Force Two while Joe Biden was vice president.”
Comer’s comments come after months of Republican investigations into the Biden family’s foreign business dealings. The investigations have focused on allegations that Hunter Biden, the president’s son, used his father’s position to enrich himself in Ukraine and China.
Some Republicans in the House have already filed to impeach the president, including Florida Rep. Greg Steube and Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles.
“It’s long past time to impeach Joe Biden,” Stebue said in a statement earlier this month. “He has undermined the integrity of his office, brought disrepute on the Presidency, betrayed his trust as President, and acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice at the expense of America’s citizens.”
South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman said that he believed it was time for the House to move forward with the inquiry and praised Comer’s investigative work. “I don’t know what more people need,” he told Just the News. “Now’s the time. If not now, when?”
“Since Republicans have taken over James Comer has done a great job of exposing – not hearsay, not innuendo, not anecdotal evidence – but direct evidence that links the leader of the free world, Joe Biden, and his son, Hunter, to a money laundering scheme,” he added.
James Comer says he is “pretty confident” that the House will launch an Impeachment Inquiry into Joe Biden after Labor Day and that he feels that everyone in the Republican Conference sees now that they “have no choice” but to move forward. pic.twitter.com/4tU8gY4uhF
