US Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy announced he will begin an impeachment inquiry of President Biden in an effort to seek financial records of the president and his son Hunter Biden. Republican Louisiana Congressman Garret Graves said an inquiry doesn’t automatically mean an impeachment hearing is a sure thing.
“What it means is that you are going to do an investigation to determine if there are actions that warrant impeachments. This is an investigatory process, this is doing an investigation,” said Graves.
Graves said over the past few months, serval committees, like Judiciary, Oversite, and Ways & Means that have all done investigations and requested information concerning the Bidens and they’ve found questionable items. For example, Hunter Biden has been paid $ 20 million by countries like Ukraine and Russia to name a few.
“And you know this is a person who, and I know this may sound mean but he doesn’t really have any appreciable skills that would suggest that he’s worth $20 million,” said Graves.
Graves said whistleblowers are coming forward from the FBI, IRS, and others that have linked President Biden to some of the countries, and potentially even official actions carried out that could be the President using his office to benefit his son’s clients.
“And you’ve had some of the people that have cut these checks to Hunter Biden that have explicitly said that Joe Biden was involved, that they were attempting to buy access and things along those lines,” said Graves.
Graves reiterates it’s not an impeachment hearing, it’s simply an investigation. He hopes the committee will follow the evidence and thoroughly develop a case before jumping to impeachment hearings.
Democrat and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the decision to open an impeachment inquiry is quote “absurd.”
