Washington: The White House responded on Wednesday after Republican lawmakers launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. President Joe Biden’s press secretary has denied the allegations and defended himself. Biden, 80, was questioned by reporters on Wednesday about the allegations, but remained silent on them. However, his spokesperson said it was a conspiracy hatched by political enemies.
“They’ve spent a whole year investigating the president … and they have no evidence,” Biden’s press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre told reporters. “That’s because the president has done nothing wrong.” Jean-Pierre said Republicans don’t even have enough support in the House to vote to approve an impeachment inquiry. “Even House Republicans say there’s not enough evidence,” he said. This is a political stunt.” According to Jean-Pierre, no credible evidence has yet emerged that President Biden was involved in any illegal activity.

Let us tell you that the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, said on Tuesday that he is directing a House committee to start an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden regarding his family’s business dealings. However, to open an impeachment inquiry against Biden, a one-third majority of the House is required, which is less. The case is related to the business deals of Hunter Biden, the president’s son. “These are allegations of abuse of power and corruption that require further investigation by the House of Representatives,” McCarthy said outside the speaker’s office. “So today I’m directing our House committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden,” he said.
