Rep. John Rose ‘Wholeheartedly’ Supports Impeachment Inquiry into President Biden

Tennessee U.S. Representative John Rose (R-TN-06) released a statement Tuesday saying he “wholeheartedly supports” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA-20) decision to launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

“I wholeheartedly support Speaker McCarthy’s decision to move forward with an impeachment inquiry into President Biden,” Rose said in a statement. “House Republicans have uncovered substantial evidence that suggests the president may have been involved in his son’s nefarious, unethical, and potentially illegal business dealings but have been stonewalled by the Biden Administration in our good-faith efforts to uncover more evidence.”

“An impeachment inquiry, which is far different than Nancy Pelosi’s political impeachment of Donald Trump, is a logical step toward bringing accountability to the White House,” Rose said.

McCarthy made the announcement Tuesday morning, saying that the effort will be led by Chairman James Comer (R-KY-01) at the Committee on Oversight in coordination with Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH-04) of the Judiciary Committee and Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO-08) of the Ways and Means Committee.

“I don’t make this decision lightly. And Regardless of your party or who you may have voted for, these facts should concern all Americans. The American people deserve to know that public offices are not for sale – and that the federal government is not being used to cover up the actions of a politically-associated family,” McCarthy told reporters Tuesday morning. “I would encourage the President and his team to fully cooperate with this investigation in the interest of transparency.”

Yes, Every Kid

“We are committed to getting the answers for the American public – nothing more, nothing less,” McCarthy added. “We will go wherever the evidence takes us.”

McCarthy’s announcement came on the same day that Comer penned a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken demanding he provide information on then-Vice President Biden’s shift on Ukraine policy at the time he “boasted about his central role in having Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired.”
