Former President Trump is urging Republicans in Congress to either impeach President Biden or “fade into oblivion.”
“The Republicans in Congress, though well meaning, keep talking about an Impeachment ‘Inquiry’ on Crooked Joe Biden. Look, the guy got bribed, he paid people off, and he wouldn’t give One Billion Dollars to Ukraine unless they ‘got rid of the Prosecutor,’” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
“Biden is a Stone Cold Crook — You don’t need a long INQUIRY to prove it, it’s already proven,” he continued. “These lowlifes Impeached me TWICE (I WON!), and Indicted me FOUR TIMES – For NOTHING! Either IMPEACH the BUM, or fade into OBLIVION. THEY DID IT TO US!”
Trump in a subsequent post said that he “NEVER HAD AN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY, I HAD AN IMPEACHMENT, WHICH I WON! IT WAS STARTED IMMEDIATELY, NO MEETINGS, NO STUDY, NO DELAYS.”
“THE LUNATIC FASCHISTS & MARXISTS PLAY THE GAME DIFFERENTLY,” he added. “THEY ARE OUT TO DESTROY AMERICA. MAGA!
House Republicans have floated opening an impeachment inquiry into Biden for months, and some members have signaled that they are ready to do so.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told Fox Business recently the lower chamber could launch an impeachment inquiry when it reconvenes in September.
The House Oversight and Accountability Committee, led by Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) has been looking into the Biden family’s foreign business dealings. During the August recess, the committee has released transcripts of committee interviews and sent requests for information.
“If you look at all the information we have been able to gather so far, it is a natural step forward that you would have to go to an impeachment inquiry,” McCarthy said Sunday on Fox Business’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”
Trump is the only president in U.S. history to be impeached twice. He was acquitted both times in the Senate. He has repeatedly called on Biden to be impeached, questioning on the campaign trail why Congress has not done it yet.
