Allegations by two whistleblowers have sparked new interest in impeaching Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The whistleblowers, whose testimony was released by the House Oversight Committee, last week, said that at one point, U.S. attorney David Weiss, who was the special counsel investigating Hunter Biden, said during a meeting that he was not responsible for making decisions about whether to file charges against Hunter Biden, pointing the finger at Garland, who has said he did not interfere in the investigation.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Monday framed the consequences if Garland lied.
“If it comes true what the IRS whistleblower is saying, we’re going to start Impeachment inquiries on the attorney general,” McCarthy said, according to CNN. Last week, McCarthy was cool on Impeachment articles introduced by Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado against President Joe Biden, which were sent to House committees for review.
