Arrr, me hearties! House Speaker Kevin McCarthy be raisin' a hue and cry 'gainst the scurvy dogs at the White House! They be sendin' out secret scrolls to the media, tellin' 'em how to handle this impeachment inquiry against President Biden. Blimey, the seas be rough!
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy criticized the White House for attempting to control the media's messaging regarding the impeachment inquiry against President Biden. White House spokesperson Ian Sams sent a letter to major news organizations calling for increased scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on what Sams referred to as "lies." McCarthy expressed concern that the White House was dictating what the press should say and argued that the media should be asking questions about the Biden family's actions. He referenced findings from GOP-led investigations, including allegations of payments to the Bidens for access to the Biden network. The White House has denied any wrongdoing and stated that Republicans have provided no evidence of a crime committed by the president. Sams' letter continued to criticize House Republicans for pursuing an impeachment inquiry based on unfounded and disproven allegations. The letter was sent to major media organizations, including Fox News, CNN, and The New York Times. McCarthy stated that Republican investigations have revealed evidence of abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption by President Biden. House Oversight Chairman James Comer announced that the first impeachment inquiry hearing on these matters would take place later in the month.
