President Biden has sought to remain above the fray, but his staffers — and son — have responded aggressively.
Biden’s broader circle has joined the aggressive pushback. His reelection campaign fired off a fundraising email Wednesday castigating the inquiry as “theater with bad actors.” His son Hunter, who is at the center of Republicans’ impeachment push, on Wednesday sued a hard-right activist who has been investigating him and providing information to Congress.say Biden himself plans to remain above the fray and focus on touting his economic record and leading the country.
Biden did address the inquiry — briefly — at a campaign fundraiser in McLean, Va., on Wednesday evening, brushing it off as intertwined with Republican threats to shut down the government. Some of McCarthy’s most conservative members, whose votes he needs to approve spending bills, are among those pressing hardest for impeachment. If Congress can’t agree on spending, the government will shut down.
“As Donald Trump ramped up his demands for a baseless impeachment inquiry, Kevin McCarthy cemented his role as the Trump campaign’s super-surrogate by turning the House of Representatives into an arm of his presidential campaign,” spokesman Ammar Moussa said in a statement. He pointed to some congressional Republicans who have said they have seen no evidence of wrongdoing by Biden.
“Republicans in Congress, right, they have spent all year investigating the president,” White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday. “That’s what they’ve spent all year doing and have turned up with no evidence — none — he that he did anything wrong.”that Biden faces as he pursues four more years in office.
Also on Wednesday, an attorney for Hunter Biden wrote to Rep. James Comer , chair of the House Oversight Committee, demanding that he retract his claim on Newsmax that he never received bank records that he requested from Hunter Biden. “For you to now go on live television and say we did not respond or ignored your Committee’s requests is simply not true,”In response, a spokesman for the Oversight Committee reasserted that the records were withheld.
