Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell from California discussed the latest developments regarding the potential impeachment of President Biden by Republicans. According to a news channel's newsletter, Republicans are considering alternative strategies as they may be backing off from their initial impeachment goal. One possibility being discussed is the idea of criminal referrals, potentially targeting Hunter Biden and even President Biden himself.
In a broader context, House Oversight Chair James Comrie highlighted the issue of referrals, suggesting that if the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland does not take any potential criminal referrals seriously, a future administration could revisit the matter. When asked about the likelihood of Donald Trump prosecuting Joe Biden if re-elected, Swalwell expressed his belief that Trump would indeed pursue such actions, citing Trump's past statements about seeking retribution and his desire to wield dictatorial powers.
