On Sunday, Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) said the House is probably preparing to wind down its impeachment probe into President Joe Biden.
House Republican's formal impeachment inquiry centers on allegations Biden was involved with his son, Hunter Biden's foreign business deals. The President has adamantly denied the allegations.
Bacon said he spoke with lawyers from the committees spearheading the impeachment inquiry into Biden, who said at this point, there's “not a specific crime that has been committed.”
“And he'd need that for [a] high crime or misdemeanor. Now, I think it merited an investigation to put the facts out, let the public look at it, make a determination,” Bacon said Sunday during an interview on NBC News's “Meet The Press.”
Bacon said the details nonetheless were “important” for the American people to see while noting that they were “in itself not a high crime or misdemeanor.”
Pressed on if it is time for the GOP conference to drop their investigation into Biden, Bacon said, “I don't know if it's time, right now. But I do think we're probably nearing the conclusion of this investigation.”
According to The Hill, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) last week invited the president to testify before the committee on April 16.
Ian Sams, White House spokesperson for oversight and investigations, last week called the “request a sad stunt at the end of a dead impeachment” and suggested Comer should “call it a day.”
Last month, White House counsel Edward Siskel told Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) that Congress should immediately end its impeachment probe against President Joe Biden in a scathing letter.
