House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said he would open up an impeachment inquiry into Attorney General Merrick Garland if the whistleblower allegations about the Department of Justice’s handling of the Hunter Biden criminal investigation turn out to be true.
While Biden plans to plead guilty to three federal charges, two misdemeanor tax charges and one felony gun charge, Republicans in Congress are livid at what they perceive as “preferential treatment” of the president’s son. And following testimony from two IRS whistleblowers alleging DOJ intervention in the investigation, they now want a deeper look into the allegations.
His statements follow testimony released last week from IRS supervisory special agent Gary Shapley and another unnamed whistleblower, who both alleged that the DOJ interfered in the investigation into Hunter Biden by blocking a request by the U.S. attorney on the case, David Weiss, for special counsel status, preventing his request to bring the charges in Washington, D.C., or California, and “concealed” foreign bribery allegations.
Shapley’s attorneys released a statement over the weekend rebutting Garland’s denial, saying Weiss told “six witnesses” he did not have the authority to charge in other districts and that he had requested special counsel status.
