Moulton Statement on the Opening of an Impeachment Inquiry into President Biden

WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman Moulton issued the following statement in response to Speaker Kevin McCarthy's announcement that he has opened an impeachment inquiry into President Biden:

"The Speaker’s new impeachment Inquiry into President Biden is the most egregious case yet of Republican weaponization of government for political retribution.

"We are weeks away from a government shutdown. Congress needs to pass eleven funding bills before October 1st to keep the lights on. Yet, Kevin McCarthy is more focused on appeasing the chaos wing of his party than finding a solution to fund the government. For months, House Republicans have claimed they have smoking gun evidence, and for months, they’ve failed to produce anything to hold up those accusations. Even members of McCarthy’s own party admit that the evidence isn’t there — but the Speaker sold his soul in January, and everyone else is now paying the price.

"This is job protection for the Speaker, plain and simple."
