President Joe Biden has accused Republicans of ‘attacking me with lies,’ as the House formalizes its impeachment inquiry against him.

President Joe Biden has publicly responded to the House of Representatives formalizing its impeachment inquiry against him, calling the whole action a “baseless political stunt.”

House Republicans released the 14-page measure to formalize the House impeachment inquiry of President Biden last week, which then passed on Dec. 13, 221–212. The action gives more power to the probe into the actions of the president, the White House, and the Biden family.

President Biden was scathing of the move in his Dec. 13 statement to the press, saying that Republicans are “attacking me with lies.”

“Instead of doing their job on the urgent work that needs to be done, they are choosing to waste time on this baseless political stunt that even Republicans in Congress admit is not supported by facts,” the president said.

“The American people need their leaders in Congress to take action on important priorities for the nation and world.”

President Biden has been accused of profiting from his time as vice president, through family foreign business dealings with China and Ukraine, among others. His son, Hunter Biden, is allegedly heavily involved in the whole affair.

The White House and President Biden have always maintained he is innocent of any wrongdoing, and any misdeeds by Hunter Biden were done without his father’s knowledge.

Hunter Biden recently defied a subpoena to provide testimony at a closed-door hearing. Instead, the younger Biden appeared outside the Capitol and asked for a public hearing. He may now face contempt charges for failing to answer the subpoena, which can carry prison time as a penalty.

Biden Says GOP Needs to Work With Him

In his statement, President Biden also took the chance to chastise House Republicans for not acting on any of his domestic and foreign priorities. President Biden also claims the GOP is refusing to act on fixing the ongoing border crisis, repair the economy, and improve job growth—all of which he says will get much worse due to the GOP refusing to pass his measures.
