Rep. Ken Buck called out House leadership for diverting attention to an impeachment inquiry into President Biden instead focusing on averting a looming government shutdown in an op-ed.
Mr. Buck, Colorado Republican, wrote in an op-ed for the Washington Post that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and fellow House Republicans “flimsy excuse” of an impeachment inquiry was based on the narrative Mr. Biden benefitted from presidential son Hunter Biden’s shady business dealings.
Moving spending bills ahead of the deadline is unlikely, but allies of Mr. McCarthy and members of the House Freedom Caucus are in talks to produce a short-term spending resolution to keep the government open. He placed the task of investigating the president on the House Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means committees.
