President Biden slams House Republicans' impeachment inquiry as a ploy to shut down government

Benzinga

President Joe Biden dismissed the House Republicans' impeachment inquiry, suggesting it is an attempt to shut down the government. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy initiated the inquiry over allegations regarding Biden's son's business dealings. The White House denies any wrongdoing, and Republicans have not found substantial evidence. Senate Republicans have expressed skepticism, but some see legitimate questions raised by the evidence. Democrats are expected to oppose Republican efforts, while moderate Republicans generally support the inquiry. Some Republicans are focused on government funding and are offered private briefings. McCarthy may struggle to fulfill demands for total spending commitment.
