New House Speaker Mike Johnson Indicates Insufficient Evidence for Biden Impeachment
Johnson's stance influenced by Biden's weak polling numbers, suggesting political motivation behind impeachment inquiry
- New House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, has indicated that there is currently insufficient evidence to initiate formal impeachment proceedings against President Biden.
- Johnson's stance appears to be influenced by Biden's weak polling numbers, suggesting a political motivation behind the impeachment inquiry.
- Despite Johnson's reservations, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has continued to call for formal impeachment proceedings, issuing subpoenas for Hunter Biden and James Biden.
- So far, House Republicans have not provided any direct evidence that Biden profited from his son Hunter Biden’s work in Ukraine and elsewhere, nor has the president been linked to any potential wrongdoing in the probe of the Justice Department’s investigation of his son.
- Johnson has urged members to conduct a thorough and fair investigation with no predetermined outcome, stressing the need for thoroughness and specificity in the inquiry.
