The White House issued a blistering statement on Thursday morning after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy floated the possibility of backing an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden in order to press Mr Biden for information about his and his son’s financial dealings.
In the statement, first sent to The Hill, the Biden administration condemned what it called “a ridiculous, baseless stunt, intended to attack the President at a time when House Republicans should instead be joining the President to focus on the important issues facing the American people.” The Independent has reached out for the full context of the unnamed spokesperson’s remarks.
