LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Tuesday that Republicans would open an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden next month if he doesn’t hand over personal records. McCarthy said Republicans need “the bank statements, the credit card statements” that would show whether Biden had taken a bribe. So far, Republicans have subpoenaed records from banks confirming that limited liability companies affiliated with Hunter Biden, the president’s son, had received millions of dollars from foreign nationals in Ukraine and China. Republicans have claimed that Biden was acting in his family’s self-interest because the prosecutor was supposedly investigating an energy company called Burisma that paid Hunter Biden millions. “We’ve now learned that Hunter Biden was being pressured while he was on that oil and gas company Burisma about getting rid of that prosecutor,” McCarthy said Tuesday, mischaracterizing recent testimony from Hunter Biden’s former business partner.
