Statement on Biden’s impeachment: His intention is to close the government

US President Joe Biden said Republicans who moved to launch an impeachment inquiry against him “wanted to remove him from office to shut down the government.”

Biden spoke for the first time about the statements about the impeachment investigation against him at the charity event held in Virginia. Biden claimed that he did not know why Republicans wanted to impeach him, commenting, “I can tell they wanted to impeach me because they wanted to shut down the government.”

Biden said Republican House member Taylor Greene has wanted to impeach him since the first day of his presidency.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy officially called for an impeachment inquiry into Biden on September 12. McCarthy had announced that Republicans in the House of Representatives had made “serious and credible” accusations about Biden, and that the impeachment investigation would be carried out jointly by the Committee on Justice, Oversight and Financial Law, which has been working on these accusations recently. .
