Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma believes that President Joe Biden cannot be impeached for actions before taking office in 2021.
He emphasizes that any impeachable offense must have occurred during Biden’s presidency.
Mullin also suggests that moderate Democrats might support convicting Biden. (Trending: Bud Light Gets Bad News Ahead of Christmas)

However, Senate Republican leaders have expressed minimal chances of convicting Biden, noting the need for a solid case from the House.
Mullin criticizes the White House for not providing records and highlights the challenges in obtaining information from the Justice Department, which is led by Biden.
“What he did as the vice president; what he did in between the two may not be impeachable,” Mullin said.
“If the president of the United States used his office to benefit him, to gain favor of other countries while they’re actually paying him, that’s a huge issue .. then we absolutely should convict him regardless of the politics behind it. It’s the law,” he added.
“What’s interesting about the Senate versus the House is the senators have a lot bigger area, a lot bigger state to cover, so they cover blue parts of the state plus red parts,” he said.
“When you talk to some more moderate-leaning senators, they will tell you that if the House sends over an airtight case that completely points to the president — breaking the law, in treason, misdemeanors, high crimes — they would try it just like they would any other case.”
“One thing that we’ve asked for during this impeachment inquiry that that the House will send us a solid case,” Mullin said.
“Listen, an inquiry doesn’t mean that they’re going to impeach the president. All that means is they have access to the records the White House and the Biden family haven’t been giving us.”
“Now they’re starting to say that Joe Biden didn’t do anything wrong. They’re saying that that that Hunter Biden’s business deals aren’t attached to President Biden when we know there were over 50 shell companies, and there are numerous bank records that we’ve been able to get from Hunter Biden,” he said.
