JUST IN: McCarthy Doubles Down On Impeachment Calls: ‘Giving Congress Power To Get The Information They Need’

During a press conference Tuesday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy amplified his calls for an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, citing allegations of misconduct, misuse of power, and potential bribery as key factors demanding an investigation.

The Speaker claimed that the President had not been truthful regarding his family’s financial dealings with China and insisted on the need for impeachment proceedings to properly investigate these matters. The information comes from IRS whistleblowers, revealing the possibility of differential treatment for the Biden family by the Justice Department, a situation McCarthy compares to the actions of former President Richard Nixon.

“The only way you can investigate that is through an impeachment inquiry so the committee would have the power to get all the documents that they would need,” McCarthy stated.

The Speaker also addressed the issue of the 1023 form, a document alleging potential misconduct that was under the possession of the Justice Department during the Trump administration. McCarthy stated that the form was moved to the Philadelphia Department of Justice by Attorney General Barr and later found to have “more merit and more information.” However, IRS agents were allegedly not permitted to view the document during their investigation.

WATCH:

Defending his calls for an impeachment inquiry, McCarthy argued that such an action would enable Republicans and Democrats to gather the necessary information for their investigations. He also asserted that it was not about appeasing any party, but about finding the truth for the American people. “What that simply provides is that the American public has a right to know and this allows Congress to get the information to be able to know the truth,” said McCarthy.

The Speaker’s intensifying demands for an impeachment inquiry have generated further controversy for the Left. One reporter claimed the calls for impeachment were deemed as “right-winged.” In response, McCarthy argued that an impeachment inquiry is about “America and the truth,” not about placating any political faction.

Despite the points made by McCarthy, as well as many other Republicans, the decision to initiate impeachment proceedings remains a politically charged and partisan issue.

REACTIONS:

I actually like what Kevin McCarthy said in this clip.

He’s highlighting all the evidence that has come forward in literally the last 30 days and he said this requires an impeachment inquiry.

I support Kevin in doing this.

Hey Kevin, don’t call on congress to get it done, lead it. You’ve got the gavel, make it happen.

At this point, I don't see how they can't move forward with impeachment.
