Jason Smith claims Democrats seek a government shutdown to hinder Biden probe.
Republicans Claim Democrats Pushing for Government Shutdown to Slow Down Investigations
Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) has made a bold statement, suggesting that Democrats are advocating for a government shutdown in order to impede investigations into President Joe Biden. These investigations, led by House Republicans, focus on his son’s foreign business dealings.
Smith, who serves as the House Ways and Means Committee chairman, emphasized that the ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden continues to lead to President Biden himself. He believes that initiating an impeachment inquiry would provide the Republican party with powerful tools to further their investigation. Interestingly, this statement comes at a time when Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is urging against a government shutdown.
“If funding is stalled, if there is a government shutdown, that would stop all of these investigations,” Smith expressed. “That’s absolutely the wrong thing. The American people deserve a government that’s working for them, and we have to continue these investigations.”
The potential halt of the House’s investigation into the Biden family arises as several Republican lawmakers advocate for an impeachment inquiry against President Biden. In fact, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) claimed back in August that there is a “mountain of evidence” to support impeachment.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) confirmed on Friday that he would not skip a floor vote to initiate an impeachment inquiry into Biden. McCarthy emphasized the seriousness of such an inquiry, stating that House Republicans would not take it lightly or exploit it for political gain. He believes that the American people should have their voices heard through their elected representatives.
Greene expressed confidence on Tuesday that McCarthy will begin the process of an impeachment inquiry by September.
