House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) is reportedly looking for a way to end Republicansā impeachment probe of President Joe Biden.
An in depth article from CNN notes Comer was initially āeagerā to lead the investigation.
However, it added, āAfter 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 ādone withā the impeachment.ā
āComer has grownĀ increasingly frustratedĀ as his investigation appears to be at a dead end, with Republicans resigned to the reality that they donāt 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, āComer is hoping Jesus comes so he can get out.ā
āHe is fed up,ā they added.
When CNN asked if Comer would have done anything differently in the probe, he responded, āNot that I can think of.ā
He also insisted that āthe 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 ādefensiveā and said, āI donāt even want to talk to you.ā
āIf you donāt think they were influence-peddling, thereās nothing to say. My God,ā he added.
Comer has previously noted Republicansā slim House majority and suggested there may not be an impeachment at the end of the probe.
