<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a> has offered to testify publicly before the House Oversight Committee as part of an impeachment inquiry into his father, President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> — but Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY) isn&#8217;t having it.
In a <a href="https://twitter.com/GOPoversight/status/1729521050742906933" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> on Tuesday, Comer declared that the terms outlined by the younger Biden&#8217;s lawyer Abbe Lowell did not comply with a subpoena demanding a closed-door deposition.
&#8220;Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else. That won’t stand with House Republicans,&#8221; Comer said.
&#8220;Our lawfully issued subpoena to Hunter Biden requires him to appear for a deposition on December 13,&#8221; Comer added. &#8220;We expect full cooperation with our subpoena for a deposition but also agree that Hunter Biden should have the opportunity to testify in a public setting at a future date.&#8221;
Comer, who is leading the corruption-focused impeachment inquiry, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-subpoenas-hunter-biden-presidents-brother-and-ex-business-associate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued subpoenas</a> for testimony from Hunter Biden, the president&#8217;s brother James Biden, and Rob Walker, a former Biden family business associate earlier this month.
Lowell responded to Comer <a href="https://twitter.com/mirandadevine/status/1729509370742890761" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a letter</a> on Tuesday, stating that his client would accept the chairman&#8217;s &#8220;offer&#8221; — yet only if the deposition is conducted in a forum that the world can see.

“Accordingly, our client will get right to it by agreeing to answer any pertinent and relevant question you or your colleagues might have, but — rather than subscribing to your cloaked, one-sided process — he will appear at a public Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing,&#8221; Lowell said, adding later, &#8220;A public proceeding would prevent selective leaks, manipulated transcripts, doctored exhibits, or one-sided press statements.&#8221;
For months, the GOP-led House has been <a href="https://twitter.com/Olivia_Beavers/status/1701715899248726504" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigating</a> whether the business practices of Biden&#8217;s family members fostered corruption in government — spurred by a money trail showing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-releases-memo-alleging-hunter-biden-received-millions-from-oligarchs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">millions of dollars</a> from foreign countries. Congressional investigators have also looked<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jim-jordan-shares-key-takeaway-from-hunter-biden-prosecutors-testimony" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> into</a> how the Department of Justice handled the criminal probe into Hunter Biden.
President Biden and his allies insist he committed no wrongdoing and claim the investigative efforts by House Republicans are tainted by politics. Planned depositions stretch over the next several weeks but could go longer if there is a legal fight, which could dash hopes to have a possible <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-the-biden-impeachment-effort-stands-heading-into-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vote on articles of impeachment early next year</a>.
White House special counsel Dick Sauber wrote a letter to GOP leaders <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/17/biden-impeachment-subpoena-white-house/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calling on them to withdraw</a> their subpoenas and interview requests to Biden family members and others, <a href="https://twitter.com/RepTimBurchett/status/1726995593812164633" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a>, &#8220;you have misrepresented the facts&#8221; and &#8220;ignored the overwhelming evidence disproving your claims.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Impeachment</a> investigators &#8220;need answers&#8221; on President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>&#8216;s tax returns, according to a top House Republican.
In an interview that aired on Sunday, Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) explained to Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo how his panel&#8217;s &#8220;tax focus&#8221; is part of the impeachment inquiry against Biden.
&#8220;We have now seen checks going to President Biden of $240,000 as loan repayments to&#8221; his brother James Biden, Smith said on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/black-friday-gift-guide">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE</a>
&#8220;But if you look at the president&#8217;s tax returns that he has released publicly, there&#8217;s no documentation of any interest income that he has received for any loans that he had granted towards anyone,&#8221; he added. &#8220;So, we need answers to those questions to make sure that people are being accurate on their tax forms.&#8221;
Republican lawmakers allege a pair of &#8220;loan repayment&#8221; checks to Joe Biden, one for $200,000 from James Biden in 2018 and another $40,000 from James Biden&#8217;s wife Sarah in 2017, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-republicans-say-biden-stonewalling-over-loan-repayment-docs-funded-by-laundered-chinese-money" target="_blank" rel="noopener">could have been funded</a> by laundered Chinese money and influence peddling schemes.
Democrats <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-rebuffs-biden-family-loan-repayment-inquiry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claim</a> bank records “show that in 2017 and 2018, while President Biden was not in office, he provided two short-term loans to his brother, James, who repaid each loan within two months.”
But the White House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-rebuffs-biden-family-loan-repayment-inquiry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rebuffed</a> a request by House Republicans seeking further documentation underlying the larger payment, stressing the financial transaction took place &#8220;between two family members at a time when both individuals were private citizens.&#8221;

Evidence conflicting with President Biden&#8217;s denials about his family&#8217;s business dealings, particularly when it comes to his son Hunter Biden <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/08/01/biden-said-his-son-earned-no-money-china-his-son-says-otherwise/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">earning money</a> from China, has fanned suspicions among Republicans.
One area of interest is a 2017 WhatsApp message <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-threatened-chinese-business-partner-for-payment-i-am-sitting-here-with-my-father" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in which</a> Hunter Biden pressed a Chinese business partner for payment by invoking his father sent just weeks before the date of the $40,000 &#8220;loan repayment&#8221; check.
Smith lamented how the Department of Justice has pushed back on efforts to get some officials to testify, including from the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/09/15/house-gop-justice-witnesses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agency&#8217;s Tax Division</a>, which he said is &#8220;quite important.&#8221;
The chairman also noted that subpoenas have been issued to Hunter and James Biden, as well as others, to testify in the coming weeks. &#8220;Hopefully, they will come forward, because we have to get answers to numerous questions that still are left out there,&#8221; Smith said.

House GOP Chairman Unpacks ‘Tax Focus’ Of Biden Impeachment Inquiry

House GOP Chairman Unpacks 'Tax Focus' Of Biden Impeachment Inquiry

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Republicans</a> are setting the stage for what could be a vote on articles of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> against President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> early next year.
A report published this week <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/21/house-republicans-biden-impeachment-00128154" target="_blank" rel="noopener">by POLITICO</a> quoted multiple GOP members of the House Judiciary Committee — which would spearhead the drafting of any articles of impeachment — urging the chamber to move quickly toward a decision heading into <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024</a>, which is a presidential election year in which Biden is seeking a second term in the White House.
“We understand that the further you go toward an election, the more politicized these conversations become. That’s why it’s all the more important for us to begin to take action sooner rather than later,” Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA), a member of the Judiciary Committee, told the news outlet. Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC), another member of that panel, added, “I think it needs to move with alacrity. I’ve always felt that we should be able to move faster. … But I do anticipate that it comes to Judiciary soon.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/black-friday-gift-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE</a>
The report also noted that Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jim-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jim Jordan</a> (R-OH), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, predicted a decision would happen early in 2024 and said, &#8220;We can decide on whether or not there’s articles&#8221; after completing a series of depositions that lawmakers hope to complete in the coming weeks.
For months, the GOP-led House has been <a href="https://twitter.com/Olivia_Beavers/status/1701715899248726504" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigating</a> whether the business practices of Biden&#8217;s family members fostered corruption in government — spurred by a money trail showing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-releases-memo-alleging-hunter-biden-received-millions-from-oligarchs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">millions of dollars</a> from foreign countries. Congressional investigators have also been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jim-jordan-shares-key-takeaway-from-hunter-biden-prosecutors-testimony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">looking into</a> how the Department of Justice handled the criminal probe into the president&#8217;s son, Hunter Biden.
Biden and his allies insist there is no wrongdoing by the president and claim the investigative efforts by House Republicans are tainted by politics.
What happens in the coming weeks could prove critical.
Though some GOP members want quick action, the <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/21/house-republicans-biden-impeachment-00128154" target="_blank" rel="noopener">POLITICO report</a> said centrist Republicans do not want a vote on impeachment articles without a &#8220;smoking gun.&#8221; A handful of GOP defectors could prove fatal to any impeachment articles, which require a simple majority to pass. The House is narrowly controlled by Republicans, and Democrats are almost certain to vote in a bloc against any articles brought forward.
Then there are outside factors that could significantly affect the timeline of events, such as new deadlines in January and February to avert a government shutdown after the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-overwhelmingly-votes-to-continue-government-funding-with-no-spending-cuts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passage</a> of another <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/johnson-led-house-passes-bill-to-avert-government-shutdown-with-dem-support" target="_blank" rel="noopener">short-term spending</a> bill.
Oversight Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY) — who is leading the impeachment inquiry with the help of Jordan and Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) — announced a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-subpoenas-hunter-biden-presidents-brother-and-ex-business-associate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wave of</a> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-issue-subpoenas-over-hunter-biden-art-sales" target="_blank" rel="noopener">subpoenas</a> and transcribed interview requests this month. Among the subpoena targets were Hunter Biden and the president’s brother, James Biden.

House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA), who took on the leadership role roughly one month ago, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-says-biden-impeachment-inquiry-has-reached-stage-for-key-witness-testimony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> last week that he received a briefing from Comer and the other impeachment leaders on their progress.
&#8220;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,&#8221; Johnson said.
&#8220;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. 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,&#8221; he added. &#8220;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.&#8221;

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marjorie-taylor-greene" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marjorie Taylor Greene</a> (R-GA) said on Sunday that she would try again to get Homeland Security Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alejandro-mayorkas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alejandro Mayorkas</a> impeached after the House punted on her latest effort last week.
The congresswoman, who often is referred to as &#8220;MTG,&#8221; told Fox anchor Maria Bartiromo that she would bring articles of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> back to the House floor when lawmakers return after the Thanksgiving break.
&#8220;This time, the Republicans in Congress better deliver different results,&#8221; Greene said on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures.&#8221; &#8220;Mayorkas must be impeached, and the invasion must stop,&#8221; she added, referring to the U.S. border with Mexico.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Americans deserve security and sovereignty.
After the holiday break, I’ll reintroduce my articles to impeach Secretary Mayorkas. Congress must choose between protecting our homeland or the Biden regime.

Eight Republicans <a href="https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1724226153794416723" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined</a> with all voting Democrats last week to approve a motion that kicked Greene&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> resolution to the House Homeland Security Committee, which is already investigating Mayorkas for <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/2023/06/08/chairman-green-announces-comprehensive-investigation-full-committee-hearing-to-examine-secretary-mayorkas-dereliction-of-duty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleged dereliction of duty</a> in a probe that <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/2023/06/20/what-they-are-saying-homeland-republicans-launch-mayorkas-investigation-with-preliminary-report-full-committee-hearing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">could lead to</a> impeachment proceedings in the future. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security has derided what a spokesperson called &#8220;reckless impeachment charades&#8221; by congressional Republicans.
Some of the GOP holdouts explained that they do hope to see Mayorkas impeached, but stressed they want to do so in a way that is not rushed and ensures a conviction in the Senate — a high bar at the moment as the upper chamber is controlled by the Democrats who are generally aligned with the White House.

&#8220;We didn’t kill a Mayorkas impeachment. We voted to launch hearings and make our case to the entire nation. If we impeached Mayorkas today, the Senate would have rejected it today,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/repdarrellissa/status/1724613515795726431" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) in a post to X. &#8220;House Democrats will now have to defend Biden or admit his border disaster. We can win this.&#8221;
Greene, who has been critical of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/why-mtgs-impeachment-of-mayorkas-hit-a-regular-order-roadblock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;regular order&#8221;</a> route favored by some of her colleagues, argued in favor of taking immediate action against Mayorkas despite the setback last week, citing such pressing issues as drug trafficking and the prospect of a terrorist attack.
&#8220;It&#8217;s absolutely outrageous,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I serve on the Homeland Committee. We have had hearing after hearing listening to parents cry over their children murdered by fentanyl. I mean, we are wondering how many &#8230; dead American bodies are going to have to pile up before Republicans in Congress get serious about impeaching Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.&#8221;

House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) said the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> inquiry against President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> has advanced to a stage in which witnesses should be placed under oath.
The speaker released a statement on Wednesday that said he had just received an update from Oversight Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY), who is leading the endeavor, and the two others tasked with assisting him: Judiciary Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jim-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jim Jordan</a> (R-OH) and Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO).
&#8220;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,&#8221; Johnson said.
&#8220;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,&#8221; he added. &#8220;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.&#8221;
Johnson concluded, &#8220;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.&#8221;
The impeachment inquiry, which is looking into whether the Biden family&#8217;s business practices have fostered corruption in government, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-announces-formal-impeachment-inquiry-against-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">formally began</a> in mid-September under then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). Biden and his allies insist there is no wrongdoing by the president and claim the inquiry is tainted by politics.
Last week, Comer announced the start of a new <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-subpoenas-hunter-biden-presidents-brother-and-ex-business-associate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wave of</a> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-issue-subpoenas-over-hunter-biden-art-sales" target="_blank" rel="noopener">subpoenas</a> and transcribed interview requests. Among the subpoena targets were Biden’s son Hunter Biden, the president’s brother James Biden, and Rob Walker, a former Biden family business associate. The subpoenas demanded a deposition from each individual at dates extending from the end of November to the middle of December.
Comer has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/comer-says-biden-impeachment-inquiry-imminent-as-republicans-call-for-action" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that he believes President Biden should be impeached, but emphasized, &#8220;That&#8217;s going to be left up to the speaker.&#8221; Jordan <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jim-jordan-expects-biden-impeachment-decision-in-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during a Fox interview over the weekend that he expects the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> inquiry to stretch into next year when Biden is up for re-election.
Johnson recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-signals-biden-impeachment-decision-coming-very-soon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told reporters</a> he would not &#8220;predetermine&#8221; an outcome. &#8220;But I do believe that very soon we are coming to a point of decision on it,&#8221; Johnson said, adding that the impeachment inquiry phase is an &#8220;important step&#8221; in ensuring due process.

Speaker Johnson Says Biden Impeachment Inquiry Has Reached Stage For 'Key' Witness Testimony

U.S.

Several House Republicans <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-deflects-mtgs-mayorkas-impeachment-resolution-to-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted to stall</a> Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marjorie-taylor-greene" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marjorie Taylor Greene</a>&#8216;s (R-GA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> resolution against Homeland Security Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alejandro-mayorkas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alejandro Mayorkas</a>, but that does not mean they oppose impeaching the Biden administration official.
By a <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023645" target="_blank" rel="noopener">209-201 tally</a> on Monday, the GOP-led chamber sent the impeachment resolution to the House Homeland Security Committee, which is already investigating Mayorkas for <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/2023/06/08/chairman-green-announces-comprehensive-investigation-full-committee-hearing-to-examine-secretary-mayorkas-dereliction-of-duty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleged dereliction of duty</a> over his handling of the border — a probe that <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/2023/06/20/what-they-are-saying-homeland-republicans-launch-mayorkas-investigation-with-preliminary-report-full-committee-hearing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">could lead to</a> impeachment proceedings in the future.
Eight Republicans <a href="https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1724226153794416723" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined</a> with all voting Democrats in supporting the motion, <a href="https://twitter.com/ChadPergram/status/1724228334110786015" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including</a>: Reps. Cliff Bentz (R-OR), Ken Buck (R-CO), John Duarte (R-CA), Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), Darrell Issa (R-CA), Tom McClintock (R-CA), Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), and Mike Turner (R-OH).
A key point of contention appears to be whether the House should have proceeded through &#8220;<a href="https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1724127857465528824" target="_blank" rel="noopener">regular order</a>,&#8221; which is essentially a systematic process of debate and voting that also applies to legislation. In recent years, political observers have bemoaned what they see as the collapse of regular order — particularly as it relates to the <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/articles/restoring-regular-order-in-congressional-appropriations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appropriations process</a> and a growing number of last-minute scrums to avert a government shutdown.
Greene, who often is referred to as &#8220;MTG,&#8221; contended there was already &#8220;overwhelming evidence&#8221; to quickly impeach Mayorkas and bemoaned how sending her resolution to the Homeland Security Committee would effectively &#8220;<a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1724207461874147786" target="_blank" rel="noopener">kill</a>&#8221; the impeachment effort. She said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1724410771709239697" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> to X, &#8220;My articles have been rotting in committee and now go back on the shelf.&#8221;
The congresswoman also chided the eight GOP holdouts, saying, &#8220;Your excuses are pathetic!&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/8-killed-in-texas-crash-involving-suspected-human-smuggler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Two of her constituents</a> were killed in a car crash last week involving a suspected human smuggler <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/immigration/8-killed-crash-involving-alleged-human-smuggler/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">from Honduras</a>, leading Greene to ask how many more U.S. citizens must die before impeachment is done the &#8220;right way.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
To the 8 Republicans who voted with Dems to kill the impeachment of Mayorkas:
How many more Americans have to die while you claim impeachment has to be done the “right way?”

But doing impeachment the &#8220;right way,&#8221; as explained by some of the holdouts themselves, may be what ensures a conviction in the Senate — though it remains a high bar at the moment as the upper chamber is controlled by the Democrats who are generally aligned with the White House.
&#8220;We didn’t kill a Mayorkas impeachment. We voted to launch hearings and make our case to the entire nation. If we impeached Mayorkas today, the Senate would have rejected it today,&#8221; Issa <a href="https://twitter.com/repdarrellissa/status/1724613515795726431" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X. &#8220;House Democrats will now have to defend Biden or admit his border disaster. We can win this.&#8221;

Foxx, another holdout, said in a <a href="https://foxx.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=400127" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> that she has long supported impeaching Mayorkas but opposes &#8220;stooping to the same level&#8221; as House Democrats when they waged their &#8220;snap impeachment crusade&#8221; against former President Donald Trump. The North Carolina Republican argued the probe into Mayorkas must be methodical like with how the GOP-led House has chosen to run <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jim-jordan-expects-biden-impeachment-decision-in-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a corruption-focused inquiry</a> against President Joe Biden led by multiple committees.
&#8220;House Republicans made clear in our Commitment to America that we would restore regular order in Washington — and that means putting in the work and exposing the truth even while some want to cut corners and do the opposite,&#8221; Foxx said. &#8220;If the United States Senate is to follow our lead and impeach Secretary Mayorkas as well, we’d better do things by the book from the get-go — shortcuts are not an option.&#8221;
Greene, who is in her second term, has spent the entirety of her time in Congress pushing for impeachment of Biden administration officials. Soon after she was first sworn in as a lawmaker in January 2021, Greene <a href="https://www.wfla.com/news/politics/congresswoman-greene-files-articles-of-impeachment-against-president-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that she filed impeachment articles against Biden, accusing him of corruption and abuse of power. She has followed suit with other attempts, including border-focused articles of impeachment against <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/marjorie-taylor-greene-introduces-biden-impeachment-articles-rcna85098" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden</a> and <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/marjorie-taylor-greene-impeachment-articles-mayorkas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mayorkas</a> earlier this year, that have not gained much traction.

So how long will it take for the House Homeland Security Committee to decide whether to move toward impeachment proceedings against Mayorkas? It may not be far off, judging by a clue dealt by the panel on Monday.
Hours before the House voted to punt on Greene&#8217;s latest resolution, the committee released its &#8220;phase four&#8221; <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/2023/11/13/new-homeland-majority-releases-phase-four-interim-report-examining-skyrocketing-dollar-costs-of-biden-mayorkas-border-crisis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interim report</a> assessing the &#8220;staggering&#8221; financial costs of the border crisis on U.S. taxpayers. In fact, the panel has been investigating Mayorkas for <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/2023/06/08/chairman-green-announces-comprehensive-investigation-full-committee-hearing-to-examine-secretary-mayorkas-dereliction-of-duty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleged dereliction of duty</a> for months and back in June, when Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) announced the inquiry, he said it would span five phases — at the conclusion of which the findings would be sent to the House Judiciary Committee for <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/2023/06/20/what-they-are-saying-homeland-republicans-launch-mayorkas-investigation-with-preliminary-report-full-committee-hearing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">possible impeachment proceedings</a>.
Meanwhile, as the political infighting over whether to impeach Mayorkas rages, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has rejected the criticism of one of the Biden administration&#8217;s most high-profile Cabinet secretaries and deflected the blame for issues at the border to Congress.
&#8220;Instead of continuing their reckless impeachment charades and attacks on law enforcement, Congress should work with us to keep our country safe, build on the progress DHS is making, and deliver desperately needed reforms for our broken immigration system that only legislation can fix,&#8221; a DHS spokesperson told The Daily Wire.

Why MTG’s Impeachment Of Mayorkas Hit A ‘Regular Order’ Roadblock

Readers Pass

A House Republican leader said on Sunday that he expects the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> inquiry against President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> to stretch into next year when Biden is up for re-election.
Judiciary Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jim-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jim Jordan</a> (R-OH) told Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo that he thinks investigators will continue to gather evidence through the end of December and come to a decision on how to proceed at the beginning of 2024.
&#8220;I believe we will get the depositions and the interviews done in this calendar year and then make a decision early next year whether &#8230; the actual evidence warrants going to articles of impeachment and moving to that stage of the investigation,&#8221; Jordan said during an interview on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures,&#8221; alluding to a new <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-subpoenas-hunter-biden-presidents-brother-and-ex-business-associate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wave of</a> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-issue-subpoenas-over-hunter-biden-art-sales" target="_blank" rel="noopener">subpoenas</a> and transcribed interview requests.
&#8220;But I think, this year, November, December, we will depose all these people we still need to depose, and then we can make a decision,&#8221; he added.
The impeachment inquiry, which is looking into whether the Biden family&#8217;s business practices have fostered corruption in government, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-announces-formal-impeachment-inquiry-against-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">formally began</a> in mid-September. Biden and his allies insist there is no wrongdoing by the president and claim the inquiry is tainted by politics.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-8698">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
At the outset, then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) put House Oversight Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY) in charge and said Jordan and Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) would assist in the endeavor. Comer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/comer-says-biden-impeachment-inquiry-imminent-as-republicans-call-for-action" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> last weekend on Bartiromo&#8217;s show that Biden should be impeached but emphasized, &#8220;That&#8217;s going to be left up to the speaker.&#8221;
The new speaker who replaced McCarthy, Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA), recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-signals-biden-impeachment-decision-coming-very-soon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told reporters</a> that he would not &#8220;predetermine&#8221; an outcome. &#8220;But I do believe that very soon we are coming to a point of decision on it,&#8221; Johnson said, adding that the impeachment inquiry phase is an &#8220;important step&#8221; in ensuring due process.
Jordan&#8217;s panel has been digging into the Department of Justice&#8217;s criminal inquiry into Hunter Biden, the president&#8217;s son, amid concerns raised by whistleblowers that the probe has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jim-jordan-shares-key-takeaway-from-hunter-biden-prosecutors-testimony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">slow-walked in a way</a> that precluded serious charges.
The Judiciary chairman repeatedly stressed that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Republicans</a> are &#8220;driven by the facts,&#8221; seeking to draw a contrast to the Democrats and their impeachment inquiries against former President Donald Trump that he described as being politically motivated.

Jim Jordan Expects Biden Impeachment Decision In 2024

2024 Election

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marjorie-taylor-greene" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marjorie Taylor Greene</a> (R-GA) introduced a <a href="https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1722646254805516391" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution</a> on Thursday to force a vote on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeaching</a> Homeland Security Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alejandro-mayorkas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alejandro Mayorkas</a> after two of her constituents were killed in a car crash involving a suspected human smuggler.
The congresswoman accused Mayorkas of &#8220;high crimes and misdemeanors&#8221; in a speech on the House floor. She said Mayorkas &#8220;willfully abandoned his duty&#8221; to secure the border and &#8220;protect states against invasion&#8221; by illegal immigrants. She also begrudged the secretary for his failure to stem the flow of dangerous drugs such as fentanyl into the United States, among other issues.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
BREAKING: I just filed privileged Articles of Impeachment on Secretary Mayorkas.

Because her resolution is privileged, it prompts the GOP-led House to act on it <a href="https://twitter.com/MZanona/status/1722645228803215455" target="_blank" rel="noopener">within two legislative days</a>, indicating this effort will go further than previous attempts to <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-resolution/582/cosponsors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeach</a> Mayorkas. It was not immediately clear how much support Greene&#8217;s resolution would receive among her colleagues, though Republicans have long chastised Mayorkas over his handling of the southern border.
New House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) recently said he believes Mayorkas has &#8220;committed impeachable offenses.&#8221; But Johnson <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/4289430-johnson-says-he-believes-dhs-secretary-committed-impeachable-offenses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a> in a conversation with Fox News host Sean Hannity that &#8220;we only have so much time and resources to go after that,” as the House is already engaged in an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-subpoenas-hunter-biden-presidents-brother-and-ex-business-associate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden</a>.
Greene lashed out at Mayorkas on Wednesday following a crash in Texas that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/8-killed-in-texas-crash-involving-suspected-human-smuggler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killed two citizens</a> of her district when, according to law enforcement, a suspected human trafficker driving a car full of Hondurans careened into their vehicle while fleeing authorities. The victims have been identified as Jose Lerma, 67, and Isabel Lerma, 65, of Dalton, Georgia.
&#8220;This is unacceptable! Alejandro Mayorkas is derelict of his duty to secure our Southern border and my constituents are dying!!&#8221; Greene said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1722428703211151391" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> to X. She <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1722651420019638776" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expounded</a> on her frustration on Thursday, saying the victims &#8220;had 5 kids who will never get to say goodbye.&#8221;

Greene added: &#8220;The utter disregard for American life displayed by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas can no longer be ignored. The time for more hearings and phases is over. Americans are getting murdered just traveling to see their families. Lives have been lost forever. Everyone should care. This is not a political issue. That’s why I just introduced privileged Articles to IMPEACH Secretary Mayorkas.&#8221;
The Daily Wire reached out to the Department of Homeland Security on Thursday seeking comment on Greene&#8217;s resolution.
“While the House Majority has wasted months trying to score points with baseless attacks, Secretary Mayorkas has been doing his job and working to keep Americans safe,&#8221; a DHS spokesperson said in response.
&#8220;Under his leadership, the Department of Homeland Security is stopping unprecedented amounts of fentanyl from entering the country, countering threats from the Chinese government, helping communities recover from natural disasters, and working to protect our nation from cyberattacks, terrorism, and targeted violence,&#8221; the spokesperson added. &#8220;Instead of continuing their reckless impeachment charades and attacks on law enforcement, Congress should work with us to keep our country safe, build on the progress DHS is making, and deliver desperately needed reforms for our broken immigration system that only legislation can fix.&#8221;

MTG Moves To Force Mayorkas Impeachment Vote

An attorney representing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a>, the son of the president, beseeched House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) to get congressional investigators working to root out corruption to lay off the Biden family.
In a <a href="https://punchbowl.news/lowell-letter-to-speaker-johnson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">12-page letter</a> dated Wednesday, lawyer Abbe Lowell asked Johnson to use his &#8220;newly minted leadership post responsibly&#8221; and to &#8220;think twice&#8221; about stoking the &#8220;spectacle&#8221; taking place on Capitol Hill over the past year.
Lowell encouraged Johnson to consider his own statements, including his <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4289488-johnson-says-biden-impeachment-inquiry-continued/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vow</a> that House Republicans would &#8220;follow the truth where it leads,&#8221; and listed various ways in which the attorney claimed GOP investigators have lied about Hunter Biden&#8217;s foreign business dealings and related matters.
He also took aim at the impeachment inquiry into President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>, which is examining the behavior of the commander in chief as well as members of his family, and repeatedly bemoaned how House Oversight Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/comer-says-biden-should-be-impeached-ahead-of-big-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teased</a> around two dozen more subpoenas <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/comer-says-biden-should-be-impeached-ahead-of-big-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“in the very near future.”</a>
Hunter Biden and President Biden&#8217;s brother James Biden were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-subpoenas-hunter-biden-presidents-brother-and-ex-business-associate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">subpoenaed</a> by House Republicans on Wednesday. In addition to the impeachment inquiry, Hunter Biden is facing a criminal investigation, into which House Republicans are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jim-jordan-shares-key-takeaway-from-hunter-biden-prosecutors-testimony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taking a hard look</a> over concerns that the Department of Justice slow-walked the process to shield the president&#8217;s son.
Encouraging Johnson to be a &#8220;different&#8221; speaker who &#8220;restores the integrity and reputation of your chamber,&#8221; Lowell ended his letter by urging him to begin with holding Comer and other top impeachment investigators &#8220;to the facts and stopping them from continuing their partisan political games. The latest example of their hoping to do the opposite is ripe for your intervention.&#8221;
Comer recently told conservative political commentator Benny Johnson the impeachment inquiry has reached the &#8220;<a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/james-comer-now-wants-to-wrap-up-biden-impeachment-probe-asap#:~:text=Continuing%20to%20brag%20about%20his,to%20wind%20down%20the%20probe." target="_blank" rel="noopener">downhill phase</a>,&#8221; and he aims to &#8220;wrap it up as soon as possible.&#8221; GOP investigators have been particularly interested in the flow of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-president-is-compromised-comer-says-biden-family-brokered-over-40m-worth-of-foreign-deals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">millions</a> of dollars of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bank-records-show-biden-received-laundered-money-from-china-comer-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspicious money transfers</a> from foreign dealings through a complicated web of businesses and bank accounts. Biden and his allies insist there is no wrongdoing.
Johnson, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-elects-mike-johnson-as-speaker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">took over as speaker last month</a> after Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted from the role, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-signals-biden-impeachment-decision-coming-very-soon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told reporters</a> last week that he would not &#8220;predetermine&#8221; an outcome. &#8220;But I do believe that very soon we are coming to a point of decision on it,&#8221; Johnson said, adding that the impeachment inquiry phase is an &#8220;important step&#8221; in ensuring due process.

Hunter Biden’s Lawyer Asks New Speaker To Back Off

Hunter Biden's Lawyer Asks New Speaker To Back Off

House Republicans subpoenaed members of President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>&#8216;s family on Wednesday, escalating an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> inquiry focused on rooting out corruption that may lead all the way to the White House.
The lead impeachment investigator, House Oversight Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY), signed subpoenas for Biden&#8217;s son Hunter Biden, the president&#8217;s brother James Biden, and Rob Walker, a former Biden family business associate.
Copies of the subpoenas, <a href="https://twitter.com/GOPoversight/status/1722327200714641654">shared</a> by the Oversight Committee&#8217;s X account, showed they demand a deposition from each individual at dates extending from the end of this month to the middle of December.
Comer also requested additional Biden family members and their associates to appear for transcribed interviews, according to the panel, including: President Biden&#8217;s daughter-in-law Hallie Biden, her sister Elizabeth Secundy, Hunter Biden&#8217;s wife Melissa Cohen, and Hunter Biden&#8217;s former business partner <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tony-bobulinski" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tony Bobulinski</a>.
“The House Oversight Committee has followed the money and built a record of evidence revealing how Joe Biden knew, was involved, and benefited from his family’s influence peddling schemes. Now, the House Oversight Committee is going to bring in members of the Biden family and their associates to question them on this record of evidence,” Comer said in a statement.
“Unlike the many lies President Biden told the American people about his family’s business schemes, bank records don’t lie. These records reveal how the Bidens sold Joe Biden around to the world to benefit the Biden family, including Joe Biden himself, to the detriment of U.S. interests,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The House Oversight Committee, along with the Committees on Judiciary and Ways and Means, will continue to follow the facts and deliver the transparency and accountability that the American people demand and deserve.&#8221;
A release from the House Oversight Committee said Comer plans to send additional subpoenas and transcribed interview requests later this week. Comer recently told conservative political commentator Benny Johnson the impeachment inquiry has reached the <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/james-comer-now-wants-to-wrap-up-biden-impeachment-probe-asap#:~:text=Continuing%20to%20brag%20about%20his,to%20wind%20down%20the%20probe." target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;downhill phase,&#8221;</a> and he aims to &#8220;wrap it up as soon as possible.&#8221;
GOP investigators have been particularly interested in the flow of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-president-is-compromised-comer-says-biden-family-brokered-over-40m-worth-of-foreign-deals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">millions</a> of dollars of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bank-records-show-biden-received-laundered-money-from-china-comer-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspicious money transfers</a> from foreign dealings through a complicated web of businesses and bank accounts, slowly revealed over months of investigation. Various probes into the Biden family, which got wrapped into an impeachment inquiry in September, have been bolstered by <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/house-oversight-committee-subpoenas-financial-145117798.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">subpoenas</a> for the financial records tied to Walker, Biden family members, and others as well as witness testimony suggesting how lucrative the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/intimidated-biden-brand-helped-ukrainian-company-survive-hunters-ex-associate-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden &#8220;brand&#8221;</a> had become.

President Biden and his allies insist there is no wrongdoing by the president and claim the impeachment inquiry is tainted by politics. But they have not allayed the inquiries of House Republicans, who have expressed concerns about President Biden himself being tied to <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/comer-mountain-of-evidence-reveals-joe-biden-abused-his-public-office-for-his-familys-financial-gain%EF%BF%BC/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">family influence-peddling schemes</a>.
One recent area of interest has been a $200,000 check James Biden wrote to his brother Joe Biden in 2018 for a &#8220;loan repayment&#8221; from his personal account on the same day bank records show he received the same amount of money from a <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/09/james-biden-health-care-ventures-123159" target="_blank" rel="noopener">healthcare business</a>. The White House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-rebuffs-biden-family-loan-repayment-inquiry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rebuffed</a> a request by Comer seeking proof of President Biden providing a loan to his sibling.
Paul Fishman, a lawyer representing James Biden, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/08/hunter-biden-james-biden-subpoenas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told various news outlets</a> there was &#8220;no justification for this subpoena&#8221; and insisted that his client never involved his brother in his business dealings. Abbe Lowell, an attorney representing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a>, called the subpoenas <a href="https://apnews.com/article/hunter-joe-biden-impeachment-congress-subpoena-37fe9652539c2c501d8b8bd8c3cc8901" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a &#8220;political stunt&#8221;</a> but noted that his client &#8220;is eager to have the opportunity, in a public forum and at the right time, to discuss these matters with the Committee.&#8221;
Hunter Biden is also facing a criminal investigation, into which House Republicans are taking a hard look over concerns that the Department of Justice slow-walked the process to shield the president’s son. Earlier on Wednesday, Lowell sent a <a href="https://punchbowl.news/lowell-letter-to-speaker-johnson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to new House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-bidens-lawyer-asks-new-speaker-to-back-off" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asking him</a> to get Comer and other congressional investigators to lay off the Biden family, citing alleged lies about their endeavors.
Encouraging Johnson to be a “different” speaker who “restores the integrity and reputation of your chamber,” Lowell ended his letter by urging him to begin with holding Comer and other top impeachment investigators “to the facts and stopping them from continuing their partisan political games. The latest example of their hoping to do the opposite is ripe for your intervention.”
Johnson <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-elects-mike-johnson-as-speaker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">took over as speaker last month</a> after Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted from the role. He <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-signals-biden-impeachment-decision-coming-very-soon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told reporters</a> last week that he would not &#8220;predetermine&#8221; an outcome.
&#8220;But I do believe that very soon we are coming to a point of decision on it,&#8221; Johnson said, adding that the impeachment inquiry phase is an &#8220;important step&#8221; in ensuring due process.

House Oversight Subpoenas Hunter Biden, President’s Brother, And Ex-Business Associate

Comer Subpoenas Hunter Biden, Ex-Business Associate, And President's Brother

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> should be impeached over allegations of corruption, House Oversight Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY) declared on Sunday.
The statement is significant as Comer is the lead <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> inquiry investigator — though the congressman said he would leave the final decision up to House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) — and shared details on a &#8220;big week&#8221; in which the probe is poised to reach a crescendo.
&#8220;I think he should [be impeached], but that&#8217;s going to be left up to the speaker,&#8221; Comer told Fox anchor Maria Bartiromo on her &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221; show.
&#8220;People ask me why I haven&#8217;t put someone in jail yet. All I can do is investigate,&#8221; Comer added. &#8220;The House of Representatives can determine whether or not to impeach. But, at the end of the day, we&#8217;re going to need an attorney general who does the right thing and prosecutes people according to the law and doesn&#8217;t have a two-tier system of justice.&#8221;

Since the start of the year, Comer has spearheaded an inquiry into Biden and his family, particularly the flow of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-president-is-compromised-comer-says-biden-family-brokered-over-40m-worth-of-foreign-deals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">millions</a> of dollars of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bank-records-show-biden-received-laundered-money-from-china-comer-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspicious money transfers</a> from foreign dealings through a complicated web of businesses and bank accounts.
As concerns about corruption began to mount — even as Biden and his allies insist there is no wrongdoing — the probe got <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-announces-formal-impeachment-inquiry-against-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrapped</a> into an impeachment inquiry in mid-September.
Then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) put Comer in charge and said Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) would assist in the endeavor.
Comer recently told conservative political commentator Benny Johnson his work has reached the <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/james-comer-now-wants-to-wrap-up-biden-impeachment-probe-asap#:~:text=Continuing%20to%20brag%20about%20his,to%20wind%20down%20the%20probe." target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;downhill phase,&#8221;</a> and he aims to &#8220;wrap it up as soon as possible.&#8221;
Johnson, who took over as speaker after McCarthy was ousted from the role, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-signals-biden-impeachment-decision-coming-very-soon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told reporters</a> last week that he would not &#8220;predetermine&#8221; an outcome.
&#8220;But I do believe that very soon we are coming to a point of decision on it,&#8221; Johnson said, adding that the impeachment inquiry phase is an &#8220;important step&#8221; in ensuring due process.
In his interview on Sunday, Comer said the Biden administration has worked to obstruct the impeachment inquiry, but he emphasized that investigators have gained access to enough bank accounts to unpack evidence of money laundering.

Republicans have &#8220;proven&#8221; influence peddling by the Biden family, Comer said, and &#8220;now what we&#8217;re looking at is Joe&#8217;s involvement&#8221; as already evidenced by documented payments to him by family members for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bank-records-show-biden-received-laundered-money-from-china-comer-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a supposed loan repayment</a>.
And they&#8217;re not done yet.
Predicting a &#8220;big week&#8221; ahead, Comer said Jordan is bringing in special counsel David Weiss — who is leading a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-pleads-not-guilty-to-gun-charges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criminal inquiry into Biden&#8217;s son Hunter</a> — in for a deposition. Comer also said he expects more documents pertaining to loans to be released and teased around two dozen more subpoenas &#8220;in the very near future.&#8221;

Comer Says Biden Should Be Impeached Ahead Of ‘Big Week’

Comer Says Biden Should Be Impeached Ahead Of 'Big Week'

House Republicans are nearing a &#8220;point of decision&#8221; in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> inquiry against President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>, said Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) on Thursday.
Johnson told reporters during a press conference that he would not &#8220;predetermine&#8221; an outcome for the probe, which is looking into whether Biden and his family are steeped in corruption — particularly when it comes to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bank-records-show-biden-received-laundered-money-from-china-comer-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspicious money transfers</a> from foreign business dealings.
&#8220;But I do believe that very soon we are coming to a point of decision on it,&#8221; Johnson said, adding that the impeachment inquiry phase is an &#8220;important step&#8221; in ensuring due process.

Johnson was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-elects-mike-johnson-as-speaker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">elected</a> House speaker a little more than one week ago. His predecessor in that role, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-announces-formal-impeachment-inquiry-against-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> the impeachment inquiry in mid-September.
Biden, who is running for a second term in the White House, and his allies have denied that the president committed any wrongdoing and claimed that Republicans are trying to serve up <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-announces-formal-impeachment-inquiry-against-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;red meat&#8221;</a> for the base.
Republicans have <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/chairman-comer-subpoenas-hunter-james-bidens-personal-and-business-bank-records/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued subpoenas</a> for bank records tied to Biden family members and held one hearing on the <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/hearing-wrap-up-evidence-warrants-impeachment-inquiry-of-president-bidens-conduct%EF%BF%BC/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;basis&#8221;</a> for the inquiry. They have <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/27/us/politics/house-republicans-biden-hunter-impeachment.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> considered bribery and abuse of power charges.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY), who was tasked with leading the endeavor, recently told conservative political commentator Benny Johnson his work has reached the <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/james-comer-now-wants-to-wrap-up-biden-impeachment-probe-asap#:~:text=Continuing%20to%20brag%20about%20his,to%20wind%20down%20the%20probe." target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;downhill phase&#8221;</a> and he aims to &#8220;wrap it up as soon as possible.&#8221;
Johnson said Comer and the two leaders who are coordinating with him — Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) — have done an &#8220;extraordinary&#8221; and methodical job &#8220;outside the scope of politics.&#8221;
The speaker noted that he has a background as a constitutional law attorney and was called upon to serve on the defense team when former President Donald Trump faced impeachment over Ukraine and later the 2020 election &#8220;when the Democrats used it for raw partisan political purposes.&#8221;
&#8220;I decried that at each step of the way,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The reason is because impeachment power in the Constitution — in the House specifically — next to a declaration of war, you could argue, it&#8217;s the &#8230; heaviest power that we have. And it cannot be wielded for political purposes.&#8221;
