House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's announcement Tuesday that the House of Representatives will launch a formal impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden drew a sharp rebuke from the White House, whose spokesman asserted that the California Republican is "being told by Marjorie Taylor Greene to do impeachment."
McCarthy's announcement followed House Republicans' months-long investigation into the president, who they allege benefitted from his son, Hunter Biden's, overseas business dealings, and will be led by the House Judiciary, Oversight and Ways and Means committees, USA Today reports. "Today I am directing our House committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden," McCarthy said at a Tuesday news conference. "This logical next stop will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the American public."
