The Lower House of the United States, with a Republican majority, approved this Wednesday to formalize the impeachment investigation launched by conservatives against the president Joe Biden.
These investigations had been opened in September unilaterally by the then president of that chamber, Kevin McCarthy, and the Republicans now hope that its validation in plenary by 221 votes in favor and 212 against will facilitate their access to information, documents and testimonies.
“The White House is blocking key testimonies,” criticized the president of the House of Representatives Oversight Committee in the parliamentary debate. James Comer, who is in charge of this investigation and who described it as “important and necessary.”
For its part, Joe Biden accused Republicans of attacking him with “lies.” “Instead of doing anything to help improve the lives of Americans, they are focused on attacking me with lies,” he said in a statement.
The president also pointed out that today’s vote represents a “baseless political trick.” “Congressional Republicans themselves admit that it is not based on facts,” stood out.
