Biden Alleges Lies As House Opens Impeachment Inquiry
By GWG Internatioal Affairs Correspondent
President Joe Biden blurted out a conspiracy of lies late on Wednesday after the US House of Representatives voted to formalise an inquiry into his possible impeachment.
GWG.ng reports that the vote was strictly along party lines and it is to enable the House have power to gather evidence and enforce legal demands.
The House which is controlled by Republicans voted by a slim eight-seat margin, approved the inquiry by a vote of 221 to 212.
The impeachment inquiry vote came after three Republican-led House committees alleged bribery and corruption during Mr Biden’s tenure as vice-president in the Barack Obama White House.
The lawmakers, however, have not presented the smoking gun as to warrant Biden’s impeachment but they surround business activities around his family and his son, Hunter has been mentioned repeatedly in the media.
Speaker Mike Johnson in a statement following the vote said the chamber “will not prejudge the investigation’s outcome” but “the evidentiary record is impossible to ignore”.
GWG.ng reports that even if the inquiry leads to an impeachment process against Biden, it is unlikely to pass through the Senate which is controlled by Democrats.
The specter of impeachment is, however, expected to be a nuisance for Biden as he seeks the record to be the oldest president elected to the White House in the election due in 2024.
“The American people need their leaders in Congress to take action on important priorities for the nation and world,” Mr Biden said in a statement following the vote to open the impeachment inquiry.
“Instead of doing their job on the urgent work that needs to be done, they are choosing to waste time on this baseless political stunt that even Republicans in Congress admit is not supported by facts.”
