Speaker McCarthy Says He Will Not Open an Impeachment Inquiry Without a House Vote

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Friday said he would only open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden with a full House vote — shutting down talk of Republicans potentially moving forward without one.

“To open an impeachment inquiry is a serious matter, and House Republicans would not take it lightly or use it for political purposes. The American people deserve to be heard on this matter through their elected representatives,” McCarthy told Breitbart News on Friday. “That’s why, if we move forward with an impeachment inquiry, it would occur through a vote on the floor of the People’s House and not through a declaration by one person.”

McCarthy’s statement follows a Monday CNN report that said Republicans discussed whether they could move forward on an impeachment inquiry without having a full House vote in order to get around a lack of GOP support.
