The White House dismissed the ongoing impeachment inquiry against President Biden as "embarrassing" following a chaotic hearing on Wednesday.
Republicans' efforts fizzled on Wednesday when an eight-hour hearing failed to produce a clear path forward for the investigation into the Biden family's unclear relationship with foreign business interests.
"That hearing was embarrassing for House Republicans. A total waste of time. It’s time to move on from this sad charade. There are real issues the American people want us to address," said White House spokesperson Ian Sams.
"This is a sad stunt at the end of a dead impeachment," Sams said in a separate statement. "Call it a day, pal."
House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer said at the culmination of the hearing that the committee would need to hear from the president himself.
The president is unlikely to accommodate the committee's desire for him to testify.
