As evidence mounts against President Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s business dealings, legal minds don’t yet see enough proof to impeach.
One of the House Republicans‘ witnesses in their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden doesn’t believe enough evidence has been presented.
Jonathan Turley, a legal scholar and George Washington University law professor, was questioned during Thursday’s first impeachment inquiry hearing by the House Oversight Committee as conservatives move forward with their effort to impeaching the president for allegedly aiding his son, Hunter Biden, in business dealings in Ukraine and China.
The mounting evidence as claimed by Republicans has drawn strong responses from Turley, who has been critical of the Bidens following whistleblower testimony in the summer alleging that federal agencies hid or covered up Hunter Biden’s tax affairs and other potential criminality.
„I have previously stated that, while I believe that an impeachment inquiry is warranted, I do not believe that the evidence currently meets the standard of a high crime and misdemeanor needed for an article of impeachment,“ Turley wrote in his written statement, which he read verbatim during the hearing.
