The moment we’ve all been waiting for is getting one step closer, according to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
While McCarthy has indicated that he is open to the idea of opening an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, he also made sure to mention that he won’t be taking the same steps as his predecessor, Nancy Pelosi had done with former President Donald Trump.
He specified that a majority vote in the House would be required for any such inquiry to move forward, and that this process should involve the voice of the people.
This stands in contrast to Pelosi’s approach when she unilaterally announced her decision to commence an impeachment inquiry against Trump without a majority vote from the House.
The California Republican holds firm on his stance that only a majority vote from House Republicans will bring about an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
This clearly indicates that McCarthy wants to give Americans their due chance at expressing their opinion over this matter through their representatives and not one individual’s decision.
Fox News reported sources saying that GOP leaders are looking ahead towards launching an impeachment inquiry over allegations including bribery and foreign government dealings later this month.
During a members-only call on September 4, McCarthy mentioned to GOP lawmakers that impeaching Biden was ‘the natural progression’ after investigations had been undertaken previously.
Additionally, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer declared it likely he would subpoena members of the Biden family for testimony soon afterwards.
Comer said they were putting together evidence which could stand up in any court of law across America before moving forward any further with proceedings.
