The White House blasted Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) move Tuesday to direct House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden, calling it “extreme politics” of the worst kind.
“House Republicans have been investigating the President for 9 months, and they’ve turned up no evidence of wrongdoing,” Ian Sams, White House spokesperson for oversight and investigations, said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“His own GOP members have said so. He vowed to hold a vote to open impeachment, now he flip flopped because he doesn’t have support,” Sams said, referring to McCarthy. “Extreme politics at its worst.”
McCarthy said that the probe into Biden — based on the House GOP’s investigations of his family’s foreign business dealings and the prosecution of his son Hunter Biden — will be led by House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.).
Additionally, Comer will work in coordination with Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.), who have also been probing the Biden family.
