White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre issued a strong rebuke on Wednesday in response to Republican plans to launch an impeachment inquiry against Democratic president Joe Biden, reported AFP. She categorically denounced the effort as baseless, emphasizing that no concrete evidence has been presented by Republicans to support their investigation into the business dealings of Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. The primary focus of this inquiry is to determine whether president Biden personally benefited from his son’s business activities.
Jean-Pierre minced no words in describing the Republican initiative as” a political stunt”, designed to sow discord and uncertainty rather than uncover any genuine wrongdoing. She asserted, “This is a political maneuver that lacks substance and is being wielded purely for political gain.”
Furthermore, Jean-Pierre suggested that the impetus for this impeachment inquiry appeared to stem from House of Representatives speaker Kevin McCarthy, the highest-ranking Republican official in Washington, succumbing to pressure from the far-right wing of the Republican party, including vocal representatives like Marjorie Taylor-Greene. In her view, the decision to pursue impeachment in this manner was indicative of an entire process that circumvented the proper channels and norms, branding it as illegitimate. “This is an entire exercise of how to do this in an illegitimate way… It is going after the president politically, not about the truth,” she said.
Jean-Pierre went on to emphasize that, despite their efforts, Republicans had failed to unearth any evidence of wrongdoing by president Biden, unequivocally asserting, “The reason they haven’t found any evidence is simple: because the president didn’t do anything wrong.”
Jean-Pierre’s statement underscores the White House’s firm stance against what they perceive as a politically motivated and unsubstantiated attempt to impeach president Biden, shedding light on their belief that this inquiry is devoid of merit and driven by partisan agendas.
