President Biden blasted House Republicans for wasting time and attacking him with “lies” after they voted to authorized an impeachment inquiry against him yesterday. Via HuffPost:

“I wake up every day focused on the issues facing the American people — real issues that impact their lives, and the strength and security of our country and the world,” the president said in a statement. “Unfortunately, House Republicans are not joining me. Instead of doing anything to help make Americans’ lives better, they are focused on attacking me with lies.”

The House voted 221 to 212, along party lines, to authorize the already ongoing impeachment inquiry. The probe largely focuses on Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and his business dealings as the GOP searches for dirt on the president to echo the impeachment proceedings against his predecessor, Donald Trump. But the party has failed to find compelling evidence of corruption, and it’s the third time Republicans have tried to investigate the same claims.

James "Gomer" Comer said, “We will soon depose and interview several members of the Biden family and their associates about these influence peddling schemes.”

Sure, Jan.
