House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, has signaled the progression of the impeachment inquiry into President Biden, suggesting that the next appropriate step involves gathering key witness testimony. Johnson received an update from the three House GOP committee chairmen leading the probe: Oversight Chair James Comer, Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, and Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith.
According to Johnson, the inquiry has already revealed what he considers corrupt conduct by the president’s family, asserting that Biden and White House officials have repeatedly lied about his knowledge and involvement in family business activities. Allegations include the flow of tens of millions of dollars from foreign adversaries to companies controlled by Biden’s son, brother, and their associates.
Expressing support for the ongoing impeachment inquiry, Johnson emphasized the need to place key witnesses under oath to address gaps in the record. He commended the work of Chairmen Comer, Jordan, and Smith, stating that they have his full and unwavering support.
House Republicans have accused President Biden and his family of bribery and influence peddling, particularly involving foreign actors. In response, Biden’s allies have dismissed these allegations as political attacks. Last week, Comer subpoenaed Hunter Biden, James Biden, and several associates, including the gallery owner connected to Hunter’s entry into the art world, Georges Bergès.
A former constitutional lawyer, Johnson has approached the possibility of impeachment cautiously, advocating for due process and a meticulous investigation. While expressing his opinions, he has urged fellow Republicans to follow the law and Constitution in building a case.
Johnson mentioned in a recent press conference that House Republicans are approaching a decision on impeachment, emphasizing the importance of adhering to due process and conducting appropriate investigations at the right pace. Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment on Johnson’s latest statement.
