McCarthy also accused DHS Secretary of lying to members of the public. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur border, we don\u2019t even have operational control of it anymore,\u201d McCarthy spoke. \u201cThis is why I will continue to investigate what has gone wrong here and we will hold people accountable. And that includes Secretary Mayorkas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy spoke out in an exclusive interview after the press conference to The Federalist and stated that there was no timetable for a possible impeachment inquiry. He also maintained that it all depends on the outcome of the legislative investigations over the next weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou never do impeachment for political purposes,\u201d McCarthy spoke. \u201cIf something rises to that level,\u201d He said, \u201cwe will follow it wherever it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy led the congressional delegation with four GOP freshman, kicking off what will be a top priority for the new Republican majority under the second half of President Joe Biden\u2019s term. Each House committee is expected visit the southwest border over the next few months. Rep.
