(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The White House is gearing up with a rapid response team as House Republicans throw their weight behind an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden, who is currently facing numerous scandals.
White House aides are growing frustrated at the scorching allegations of bribery, political interference in the criminal investigation of Biden’s son, Hunter Biden and allegations of influence peddling totaling millions of dollars in payments received by the Biden family.
According to Politico, the Biden administration is bracing itself for a barrage of negative headlines and unexpected twists as House Republicans unveil more incriminating evidence related to their investigation against Biden.
Despite dismissing the mounting allegations as false, the White House has taken proactive steps by assembling a crisis management team. As reported by Politico, this team consists of approximately a dozen attorneys, legislative assistants, and communications professionals who are crafting strategies to effectively combat the looming scandals.
“The only problem with [Republicans’] impeachment strategy is they have absolutely no grounds for impeaching the president,” a Biden adviser told Politico.
The Biden team has criticized House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., for what they perceive as a lack of an overarching strategy regarding impeachment. This criticism comes after McCarthy announced that an impeachment inquiry would only proceed after a House vote. This approach differs from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who initiated impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump on two separate occasions.
“To open an impeachment inquiry is a serious matter, and House Republicans would not take it lightly or use it for political purposes. The American people deserve to be heard on this matter through their elected representatives,” McCarthy told Breitbart on Friday. “That’s why, if we move forward with an impeachment inquiry, it would occur through a vote on the floor of the People’s House and not through a declaration by one person.”
Biden is also banking on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to support him during government funding negotiations. In recent weeks, McConnell has cautioned House Republicans against pursuing impeachment against Biden. In response, Biden referred to McConnell as a “close friend” when asked about McConnell’s health.
“Speaker McCarthy should join Senate Republicans, House and Senate Democrats, and President Biden in keeping their promise and funding the government,” a White House press secretary claimed, further proving the relationship between McConnell and Biden.
