House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that he believes there are enough Republican votes to launch an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, citing the Biden administration’s overseas business dealings and alleged weaponization of the federal government as reasons for the inquiry.
He stated that the White House is stonewalling investigations and that key witnesses will be placed under oath to fill gaps in the record.
“I believe we will,” Johnson said when questioned whether the votes would be attained. (Trending: Tucker Reveals The Moment He Became A Full-Blown Trump Supporter)
Speaker Johnson criticizes the Biden Crime Family and demands the impeachment inquiry moves forward:
“Biden has lied at least 16 times about being involved in his family’s business schemes."

“I suspect no Democrats will assist in this effort, but they should.”
“I think it’s something we have to do at this juncture.”
“Elise [Stefanik] and I both served on the impeachment defense team of Donald Trump twice when the Democrats used it for brazen, partisan political purposes,” Johnson said.
“We decried that use of it. This is very different. Remember, we are the rule of law team. We have to do it very methodically.”
“Our three committees of jurisdiction — Judiciary, Oversight, Ways and Means — have been doing an extraordinary job following the evidence where it leads,” he said.
“But now we’re being stonewalled by the White House, because they’re preventing at least two to three DOJ witnesses from coming forward, a former White House counsel, the national archives…the White House has withheld thousands of pages of evidence.”
“At this stage, our impeachment inquiry has already shown the corrupt conduct of the president’s family and that he and White House officials have repeatedly lied about his knowledge and involvement in his family’s business activities,” the House Speaker added
“It has also exposed the tens of millions of dollars from foreign adversaries being paid to shell companies controlled by the president’s son, brother, and their business associates,” he added.
“Now, the appropriate step is to place key witnesses under oath and question them under the penalty of perjury, to fill gaps in the record.”
“I commend the good work of Chairmen Comer, Jordan, and Smith. As we move forward toward an inflection point in this critical investigation, they have my full and unwavering support.”
The impeachment inquiry was announced by then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, with Republicans planning to decide early next year whether to move to the impeachment stage.
