Ohio representative Jim Jordan said Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy is willing to open an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden if "necessary."
In late July, the Speaker suggested Congress may seek impeachment inquiry during a Fox News segment with host Sean Hannity.
“If at some point it’s necessary … that we have to go to an impeachment inquiry … [I think] he [McCarthy] is willing to do that,” Jordan told Breitbart News. “But right now, it’s incumbent upon us to get our work done and do what the Constitution requires.”
McCarthy is reportedly expecting further investigation into the Biden family before opening an impeachment inquiry, according to the Ohio representative.
“I think the speaker has been clear,” Jordan said. “We’re going to do our work … to get the facts and get the documents, to get the information we need.”
“I haven’t seen an administration act this way at the same time as Nixon did by withholding information,” McCarthy said late last month comparing the Biden administration’s alleged business dealings to former president Richard Nixon. “If they do not provide the information we need, then we would go to an impeachment inquiry.”
McCarthy detailed an impeachment inquiry was simply an investigation conducted by Congress.
Several Republican House members have similarly called for Congress to seek impeachment of Biden following Archer's revelation.
“With the revelations of the past several weeks and the increasing pace of new information leading towards the ‘big guy’ being directly involved, it is incumbent upon the Judiciary Committee to immediately open an impeachment investigation," said Wyoming representaative Harriet Hageman.
Texas representative Chip Roy similarly expressed concern over Biden's alleged corruption saying, "House Republicans should hold anyone in the Biden Administration accountable for the corruption and blatant weaponization of government agencies in order to serve a political end."
“The impeachment inquiry will show the public even more information," Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene told the outlet Tuesday adding she believed the inquiry is "really important."
"It will help get those Republican members that we have to the point where they will be there for impeachment,” she said. “It also gives the House more power behind our subpoenas.”
Earlier this week, Hunter Biden's former business partner, Devon Archer, confirmed to House investigators that then-Vice President Biden was on speakerphone over 20 times during phone calls with his son's business associates.
Archer claimed phone calls discussing son Hunter's business associates and interests included dinners in China with Jonathan Li of Bohai Harvest RST (BHR) and a 2014 at Café Milano in Washington D.C.
Yelena Baturina, former wife of Yury Luzhkov, was present at the 2014 dinner and reportedly transferred $3.5 million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton in February that year, according to Republican investigators.
“Devon Archer’s testimony today confirms Joe Biden lied to the American people when he said he had no knowledge about his son’s business dealings and was not involved," said Kentucky representative and House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer. "Why did Joe Biden lie to the American people about his family’s business dealings and his involvement?"
"It begs the question what else he is hiding from the American people."
