House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer dropped some serious hints Wednesday that his panel will issue criminal referrals against members of President Biden’s family as a result of the impeachment inquiry into the commander-in-chief.
Comer (R-Ky.) told Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria” that he expected the referrals to be voted on “within weeks.”
“I don’t think there’s ever been in the history of Congress, criminal referrals to an immediate president of the United States and their family,” he said.
“So we wanted to give the Bidens every opportunity. This is a fair and balanced investigation.”
Multiple House Republicans have signaled their opposition to impeaching President Biden based on the information that they currently possess, so criminal referrals sent by the full House to the Department of Justice against the first family could serve as an off-ramp.
However, Comer was adamant that “impeachment is still on the table.”
Earlier this week, Biden formally turned down Comer’s invite to testify before the panel, stressing that the evidence Republicans have unearthed proved he “has done nothing wrong.”
