(The Guardian) White House urges Mike Johnson to 'move on' and end Biden impeachment inquiry
The White House has urged the House speaker, Mike Johnson, to end impeachment efforts against Joe Biden, arguing in a letter that House Republicans’ months-long effort to uncover wrongdoing by the president has come up empty.
Writing to Johnson, White House counsel Ed Siskel said it is “obviously time to move on”, noting that testimony and records turned over to the House oversight and judiciary committees have “turned up evidence that … the president did nothing wrong”. The four-page letter comes as the Republican impeachment drive has come to a near-standstill after the indictment of a key witness on charges of making up allegations against the president’s son, Hunter Biden, and amid a tenuous House Republican majority.
White House counsel Ed Siskel’s letter to the House speaker, Mike Johnson, calls on House Republicans drop their efforts to impeachment Joe Biden and “not continue to waste time on political stunts”.
Siskel writes that House Republicans have spent more than a year investigating Biden in an “effort to find something – anything – to hurt the president politically”, but that the investigation “has continually turned up evidence that, in fact, the president did nothing wrong”. He writes: The House Majority has reportedly collected more than 100,000 pages of records, interviewed dozens of witnesses, and held multiple public hearings – but none of the evidence has demonstrated that the President did anything wrong. In fact, it has shown the opposite of what House Republicans have claimed.
“It is obviously time to move on, Mr Speaker,” Siskel wrote. - This impeachment is over. There is too much important work to be done for the American people to continue wasting time on this charade.
