Biden must hand over his BANK STATEMENTS, says Kevin McCarthy: Speaker raises impeachment threats — and urges president to prove he didn’t benefit from Hunter’s foreign deals

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is not ruling out a House impeachment of President Joe Biden and is demanding that members of the Biden family come forward to prove their innocence.

Appears on Fox News poll host Sean Hannity’s program On Monday night, McCarthy called on Biden to “give us his bank statements,” days after former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer testified about their international business dealings.

“I think there is enough evidence that this Biden family needs to come forward and show there was no wages for playing,” McCarthy said, echoing allegations of corruption leveled by the Speaker of the House Oversight Committee, Representative James Comer (R-Ky. ).

Alluding to impeachment, at a time when ordinary Republicans are passing resolutions and plotting probes, he said, “We’ll take it wherever (goes), and if it rises to the level, we’ll fulfill our constitutional duties.”

And this is the part I want America to know: America has a right to know if you were paid to play. America has a right to know if Garland is lying to them,” he said of Attorney General Merrick Garland, who appointed special counsel Jack Smith to investigate former President Donald Trump, and detained a Delaware U.S. attorney to investigate Hunter Biden .

“This isn’t about Hunter Biden,” McCarthy said of the president’s son, who is the subject of House Republican panel chairmen even as he tries to salvage a guilty plea in federal court on tax and gun issues.

“This is about paying to play for the Biden family because the money goes through shell companies to nine different members, just like the (IRS) informant said. So we will continue to track the information wherever it takes us and provide it to the American public. The difference here is that we are not doing it for political purposes. We follow the constitution,” he said.

White House spokesman Ian Sams attacked McCarthy for saying:we haven’t seen anything like it since the Nixon administration, which used their administration to shut down whenever we had a question.”

His comments came amid near-daily revelations in the Hunter Biden saga

Republicans continue to hammer President Joe Biden over his son’s business dealings, with McCarthy picking up allegations from his colleagues

Even aside from the bizarre comparison of President Biden to Richard Nixon, this is demonstrably false — by the House Republicans’ own statements. The Treasury Department has given the House Oversight Committee access to the records. Jamie Comer, chairman of the oversight committee, bragged that he had been granted this access – even standing outside the Treasury Department to record a Twitter video detailing how he and other members had just reviewed the material. he wrote.

Even as McCarthy appeared to receive impeachment calls from Trump loyalists within his caucus, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell seemed to pour cold water on the idea in an interview with the New York Times.

That came in an article about the increase in calls for impeachment, censure and other punishments within Congress. McConnell voted against both of Trump’s impeachments, and the former president now faces charges following a Jan. 6 trial in federal court in Washington, D.C.

“I said two years ago, when we had not one but two allegations, once we go down this road, it pushes the other side to do the same,” McConnell said.

“Accusation should be rare,” he is quoted as saying. “This is not good for the country.”

McCarthy remains committed to Donald Trump’s defense even after appearing as a line in the latest indictment he faces.

‘At 3 p.m., Trump had a phone call with then Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., where he told McCarthy that “the crowd was more upset about the election than the Minority Leader,” according to the indictment.
