House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) says House Republicans are getting closer to bringing formal impeachment charges against President Joe Biden.
McCarthy referenced a recent revelation from the House Oversight Committee that during Biden's vice presidency Hunter Biden “capitalized” on a financial relationship with a Romanian national who was later convicted of corruption charges.
In June, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said the Biden family received more than $1 million in 17 increments.
On Monday, McCarthy said to Fox News's Sean Hannity all but one of the payments went to what he described as “Biden shell companies.” According to Comer's prepared remarks, the elder Biden had been “lecturing Romania on anti-corruption policies” while instead being a “walking billboard for his… family to collect money.”
McCarthy also said that the evidence and legitimacy of their caucus' probes against Biden are growing. The Republican lawmaker noted that the two IRS investigators who testified before Congress last week have been “some of the most credible” to come forward.
The Houze Speaker cited the FBI 1023 form wherein a confidential human source informed the bureau that Biden was paid $5 million by a Burisma executive while he was vice president and while his son sat on the board. (RELATED: Hunter Biden's Fmr. Business Partner Set To Testify Before Congress)
“Now you have found millions of foreign money – just what the 1023 alleges they did to Biden's family. Now, we found that it has funneled through shell companies,” McCarthy said.
“We wouldn't know none of this if Republicans had not taken the majority. We've only followed where the information has taken us – this is rising to the level of impeachment inquiry, which provides Congress the strongest power to get the rest of the knowledge and information needed.”
McCarthy further accused Biden of acting in a way not seen at the White House since President Richard M. Nixon – “us[ing] the weaponization of government to … deny Congress the ability to have oversight.”
House Republicans have raised the possibility of impeachment before. Earlier this year Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene brought charges against Biden and multiple other officials.

I T’ S A B O U T T I M E ! ! ! ! ! Should have been the years ago for incompetence and failure to honor his oath of office.
The GOP had had the votes in the house but it takes Democrat votes in addition to theirs in the Senate and that is just starting to materialize. The House impeaching and the Senate not finding guilty is no more than a vote of censure by the house..
C’mon man! Impeach this corrupt CCP puppet already, would ya?!!! Bye-bye hiden Biden!
The impeachable offenses are there. But, would the Senate convict him?
There is no such thing as an impeachable offense. Anything is impeachable if the votes are there. The constitution doesn’t define high crimes and misdemeanors.
When ??? Needed Now if have evidence
Biden has shown since his first day in office he does not have America as his 1st priority. Unfortunately impeachment is a numbers game. If you have the votes you can impeach for anything if you don’t things have to be so bad you get the votes. Biden finally is getting exposed as a Dictator who has been selling the country to our enemies and destroying the country internally. Votes are starting to get aligned with impeachment the time is soon.
Duh…this sold out hack has been on the take for decades. The whole family in on it. Evidence as plain as the nose on your face……but Republicans drag their feet for years – while the strong arming and theft continues…CLEAN HOUSE. TERM LIMITS! WE NEED A CONVENTION OF THE STATES TO TAKE THE COUNTRY BACK TO CITIZEN SERVANTS, HONOR AND AMERICA FIRST!!
I predict that our brave, noble, fearless, and honorable House and Senate members* will vote to impeach ol’ Joe, then try, convict, and remove him from office on January 20, 2025.
*A bunch of feckless lackeys, the lot of them (groan).
