Kevin McCarthy teases Biden impeachment inquiry when House reconvenes in September :

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy warned Tuesday that the lower chamber could open an impeachment inquiry into President Biden when the House reconvenes in September if the administration isn’t more forthcoming with documents related to his family’s overseas business dealings and allegations that he accepted bribes as vice president.

The California Republican told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow on Tuesday that whether or not a congressional investigation into the possibility of impeaching the 80-year-old president is opened sometime after the House is gaveled back into session on Sep. 12 is wholly up to Biden.

“The thing that holds up whether we do impeachment inquiry, provide us the documents we’re asking,” McCarthy said. “The whole determination here is how the Bidens handled this.”

“If they provide us the documents, there wouldn’t be a need for impeachment inquiry. But if they withhold the documents and fight like they have now to not provide to the American public what they deserve to know, we will move forward with impeachment inquiry when we come back into session,” the House speaker added.

McCarthy demanded that the president furnish Congress with documents that show he did not accept a $5 million bribe from Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Ukrainian gas company Burisma, as alleged by an FBI informant in June of 2020; talk to his son, Hunter Biden, about his overseas influence peddling operation; or accept foreign money from foreign nationals.

“Why can’t we get the documents to prove that you’re not being bribed, that you didn’t get foreign money directly in, that you didn’t talk to your son?” McCarthy said. “But what we found now is that the things that then Vice President Biden running for president told the American public is not true, and he’s now had to change what he said.” —>READ MORE HERE

McCarthy: House could launch impeachment inquiry ‘when we come back into session’:

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) warned Tuesday that the House could launch an impeachment inquiry as soon as September if the Biden administration doesn’t turn over documents — including some that were apparently never requested by the GOP.

Asked by Larry Kudlow if he has made up his mind on beginning an impeachment inquiry, McCarthy said the House will begin one if the Bidens do not provide Congress with documents lawmakers are seeking.

The comments were McCarthy’s clearest signal yet that such an investigation could be on the horizon in the lower chamber.

But the Speaker was largely vague on what documents were at issue — even as Republicans say they are gathering evidence that Biden and his son accepted a bribe from Ukrainian officials. It’s a charge the White House has strongly denied.

“The thing that holds up whether we do impeachment inquiry, provide us the documents we’re asking,” McCarthy said. “The whole determination here is how the Bidens handled this.”

“If they provide us the documents, there wouldn’t be a need for impeachment inquiry. But if they withhold the documents and fight like they have now to not provide to the American public what they deserve to know, we will move forward with impeachment inquiry when we come back into session,” he added.

McCarthy at one point added they were seeking bank statements and credit card statements, though did not specify for whom.

“If they hold that up, we would have to move to an impeachment inquiry. Which you know, Larry, gives the apex of power to Congress when it comes to our subpoena power and others to get the documents we need. The bank statements, the credit card statements and others. Show us where the money went, show us were you taking money from outside sources? And that would clear most of this up, but they seem to fight it every step of the way,” he added. —>READ MORE HERE
