White House: Kevin McCarthy lied on Fox News’ “Hannity” to promote ‘baseless impeachment stunt’
He said that the speaker made a “series of plainly false, widely debunked attacks” to continue pushing for an impeachment inquiry that “even some members of McCarthy’s own caucus are expressing concerns about pursuing.”lied about the Biden administration obstructing House Republican investigations by comparing the Biden administration to the Nixon administration in shutting down House Republicans whenever they had a question.
Mr. Sams said that the claims were “demonstrably false,” particularly because the Treasury Department provided access to records, and the FBI provided the House Oversight Committee with an FD-1023 form, which contains raw, unverified information from human sources. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, Kentucky Republican, accused the Treasury Department of stonewalling requests for suspicious activity reports, or SARs, related to Hunter‘s business dealings earlier this year, having to go so far as to threaten a hearing over the matter.
Mr. Comer also had to start proceedings to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress for withholding the FD-1023 document. Mr. Wray only relented almost immediately before the ball would have been set in motion, and allowed the committee access to the document. The document was still not made public until Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, released it last month.
