Speaker Johnson Says 'I Believe' GOP Has Votes To Formalize Biden Impeachment Inquiry
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Saturday that he believes Republicans have the support needed to formalize their impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, although there is no evidence of the president’s wrongdoing at the moment.
House Republicans have been trying to dig up dirt on Biden for months. Johnson said that holding a floor vote to approve the inquiry would give them more investigatory power.
Asked whether he had the votes during an appearance on Fox News, Johnson replied, “Yeah, I believe we will.”
He added, “I suspect no Democrat will assist in this effort, but they should.”
Republican lawmakers leaving a closed-door conference Friday told reporters that the vote could come as early as next week.
Appearing alongside Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N. Y.) on “Fox & Friends,” Johnson recalled that both of them had served on former President Donald Trump’s defense team when he was impeached over allegations that he abused the power of his office and obstructed justice, and again when he was impeached for trying to stage a coup.
“This is very different,” Johnson claimed of the Biden inquiry.
