House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) is reportedly looking for a way to end Republicans’ impeachment probe of President Joe Biden.

An in depth article from CNN notes Comer was initially ā€œeagerā€ to lead the investigation.

However, it added, ā€œAfter 15 months of coming up shortĀ in proving some of his biggest claims against the president,Ā ComerĀ recently approached one of his Republican colleagues and made a blunt admission: He was ready to be ā€œdone withā€ the impeachment.ā€

ā€œComer has grownĀ increasingly frustratedĀ as his investigation appears to be at a dead end, with Republicans resigned to the reality that they don’t have the votes to impeach the president, multiple sources with direct knowledge of the situation told CNN,ā€ the outlet reported.

One Republican lawmaker told CNN, ā€œComer is hoping Jesus comes so he can get out.ā€

ā€œHe is fed up,ā€ they added.

When CNN asked if Comer would have done anything differently in the probe, he responded, ā€œNot that I can think of.ā€

He also insisted that ā€œthe impeachment inquiry is ongoing and impeachment is 100% still on the table.ā€

However, when the outlet asked if he has heard frustrations from Republicans, the chairman reportedly became ā€œdefensiveā€ and said, ā€œI don’t even want to talk to you.ā€

ā€œIf you don’t think they were influence-peddling, there’s nothing to say. My God,ā€ he added.

Comer has previously noted Republicans’ slim House majority and suggested there may not be an impeachment at the end of the probe.
