Republican Representative Greg Murphy announced on Tuesday that the GOP-majority House is diligently constructing a solid case involving President Joe Biden regarding allegations of bribery during his time as vice president and other questionable business activities.
Rep. Murphy, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, stated in an interview with Newsmax TV that the Republican Party is taking the matter seriously and aims to build a strong case, unlike how Democrats initiated impeachment proceedings against then-President Donald Trump.
“[Then-Speaker Nancy] Pelosi brought impeachment to the floor just as an emotional thing,” Murphy said. “The woman doesn’t know anything except politics. Impeachment is not something that we should do easily just because we don’t like a president.”
He emphasized the importance of creating a solid and compelling case before proceeding with an impeachment inquiry. Murphy acknowledged that some Republicans are impatient, but the party is committed to presenting an “airtight case” to the American public.
“You have to build an airtight case, and I know many Republicans are upset we haven’t done it so far. We want to bring an airtight case to the American people and show them with email records, with telephone records, how the president essentially sold his office as vice president for money and for political gain,” he added.
Murphy believes that an impeachment inquiry will take place “fairly soon.” He expressed concern about what he perceives as duplicity and negligence in the government, especially in relation to President Biden and his son.
“It is absolutely heartbreaking that you find out the duplicity and the absolute negligence and guilt that is seen in our government in trying to hide up, not only the [president’s] son, but what will actually eventually, in my opinion, lead to the president himself,” Murphy said.
He refuted claims that Republicans haven’t uncovered any incriminating evidence against Biden, pointing to emails, text conversations, and depositions that suggest otherwise. He emphasized the need to present factual evidence to the American people for them to make their judgments.
In recent developments, New York Representative Elise Stefanik, head of the House Republican Conference, discussed a photograph she had uncovered showing Biden aboard Air Force Two with Amos Hochstein, Biden’s special presidential coordinator, who had connections to Hunter Biden and the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings. This photograph is considered further evidence of Biden’s involvement in his family’s dealings.
Stefanik noted that the photograph illustrates Biden’s deep involvement and knowledge of Hunter Biden’s foreign business activities. She stated that House Republicans are determined to investigate Biden’s role in his family’s influence-peddling endeavors.
