House Speaker McCarthy Suggests Possible Biden Impeachment Inquiry

Facts

• US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has suggested the GOP could launch an impeachment inquiry into Pres. Joe Biden over allegations of financial misconduct and claims of meddling in the Justice Department's (DOJ) investigation into Hunter Biden.¹
• McCarthy first made the suggestion during a Monday night interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity and later reiterated the idea while speaking at the Capitol on Tuesday.²
• The Speaker pointed to the two IRS whistleblowers who claim that prosecutors deliberately ignored proper protocols in the investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax crimes as well as House findings that millions of foreign funds went to the Biden family via shell companies.³
• McCarthy also referenced an unverified FBI form that claims then-VP Biden and his son received $5M from Ukrainian energy company Burisma.⁴
• Dating back to the first impeachment trials of former Pres. Donald Trump, Republicans have been looking into allegations that the Bidens received millions from Burisma to oust a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating the company. However, Democrats claim that the allegations have been disproven.⁵
• An impeachment inquiry would be the first step towards bringing articles of impeachment forward, and an investigation could extend far into campaign season. While there's no sign of an imminent inquiry, McCarthy says Republicans “will follow this to the end.”⁶

Narratives

• Republican narrative, as provided by New York Post. Democrats and their friends in the corporate media have done their best to shield the Biden family, but there's ample evidence that Hunter Biden used his father’s power to land his role at a Ukrainian energy company and that his father accepted millions to do it favors. The IRS has also done all it can to stall investigations into Hunter’s tax crimes. It's time that the Bidens be held accountable.
• Democratic narrative, as provided by MSNBC. Republicans are desperately attempting to go after Pres. Biden despite years of their investigations going absolutely nowhere. In an attempt to use Hunter's foreign work and personal life to implicate his father, the GOP is wielding disproven allegations that don't hold any weight. It's time to move on.
