In a memo circulated to House Democrats, Raskin combats the \u200cinvestigations and \u2063possible impeachment inquiry, calling them a distraction from former President Donald Trump&#8217;s legal troubles.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Raskin Challenges House Republicans&#8217;\u2063 Investigation<\/h3>\n<p>In a 14-page memo obtained by \u2062the Washington Examiner, Raskin criticizes the\u200b House Republicans&#8217; investigation into Biden. \u200bHe argues that the evidence they\u2062 have gathered does \u200cnot show any wrongdoing by Biden and accuses them of doing Trump&#8217;s bidding.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) \u200bhas hinted at the\u200b possibility of an impeachment inquiry into\u2062 President Biden. However, Raskin\u2063 points out that any such inquiry would require a full House vote.\u200b The decision to proceed with the\u2063 inquiry also \u2062hinges \u200con whether the Biden administration continues to withhold requested evidence.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Raskin Counters Impending Impeachment Inquiry<\/h3>\n<p>Raskin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fncs-carlson-its-time-for-the-democrats-to-accept-their-victory-forgive-the-team-they-beat-and-to-move-on-you-won-be-happy\/\" title=\"FNC's Carlson: It's Time for the Democrats to 'Accept Their Victory,' 'Forgive the Team They Beat and to Move On' -- 'You Won, Be Happy'\">pushes back<\/a> against the \u200c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oversight-ranking-member-raskin-claims-gops-biden-investigation-is-a-total-bust\/\" title=\"Raskin, Oversight ranking member, deems GOP's Biden investigation a 'complete failure'.\">impending impeachment inquiry<\/a> into Biden in the\u200d memo.

Raskin \u200demphasizes that\u2064 the investigation\u200d has been\u200c focused on President\u200c Biden, not his adult son.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Raskin Disputes Allegations Against Joe Biden<\/h3>\n<p>Raskin does not \u200ddispute the information the committee has uncovered \u200dabout\u2062 Hunter Biden or his business \u200bassociates but pushes back against the notion that it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-york-times-meltdown-plays-out-in-private-facebook-group\/\" title=\"New York Times Meltdown Plays Out in Private Facebook Group\">ties back<\/a> to Joe Biden.
