Senate Republicans did not react enthusiastically to SpeakerMcCarthy expressing a willingness to launch an impeachment inquiry against President JoeBiden.
The House speaker initially said in a Monday evening Fox News appearance that information House committees uncovered through their Biden family investigations “is rising to the level of impeachment inquiry.” Clarifying himself to reporters on Tuesday morning, McCarthy said that while the inquiries had yet to prove the most serious allegations against the president, an impeachment inquiry would provide investigators with the tools to get answers.
Leaving the weekly GOP leadership meeting Tuesday afternoon, Senate Minority Whip John Thune said the matter of a possible Biden impeachment “didn’t come up. It’s not on the radar screen over here.” Responding to a similar question about a possible impeachment while leaving the leadership meeting, Sen. John Cornyn noted, “It's getting to be a habit around here, isn't it?”
“I think that's a very serious path to go down. And I warned in the last two impeachments that we can't have snap impeachments or snap impeachment trials,” Young said. “So I would hope that before they resolve to go down this path, they're thinking very, very seriously about whether or not this rises to that level of concern, as I'm sure the speaker will.”
