Speaker Kevin McCarthy is considering turning the Joe Biden investigation into an impeachment inquiry. Speaking Tuesday at the Capitol, McCarthy said the questions House Republicans are raising about the Biden family finances need to be investigated.
He said an impeachment inquiry “allows Congress to get the information to be able to know the truth” about whether Biden committed any wrongdoing.

According to Fox News, Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) said today, “When he does speak to … impeachment, it carries a tremendous amount of weight. And that’s why I think the ground shifted on that a little bit when he opened up the door. “I don’t think there’s any question that him speaking to that has caused a paradigm shift.”
