Biden claims GOP aims to impeach him, seeking government shutdown.
President Biden Stays Focused Amid Impeachment Inquiry
President Joe Biden remains resolute in his determination not to be swayed by House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into him and his family’s business dealings.
“Well, I tell you what, I don’t know quite why, but they just knew they wanted to impeach me,” Biden told donors Wednesday during a fundraiser at McLean, Virginia. ”And now, the best I can tell, they want to impeach me because they want to shut down the government.”
Republican Threat Looms for Biden
Undeterred by the impeachment inquiry, President Biden emphasizes his commitment to his responsibilities.
“So look, look, I got a job to do,” he said. ”Everybody always asked about impeachment. I get up every day, not a joke, not focused on impeachment. I’ve got a job to do. I’ve got to deal with the issues that affect the American people every single solitary day.”
Earlier on Wednesday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed the inquiry, highlighting the lack of evidence supporting it.
“I’m certainly not going to speculate on what has been a baseless inquiry that the House Republicans can’t even really defend themselves and that many House Republicans have said they couldn’t support their own votes,” Jean-Pierre said.
“Republicans should work with us on legitimate issues, things that actually matter to the American people,” she added.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) press conference announcing the inquiry overshadowed Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) plans to address the House floor and hold a press call, where he hinted at attempting to remove the speaker.
Despite McCarthy’s announcement, Gaetz reiterated that he is “out of compliance” with his agreement with more conservative Republicans, which included support for his speakership in exchange for term limits, a balanced budget amendment, access to Congress’s Jan. 6 security video recordings, and a subpoena for Hunter Biden.
