WASHINGTON – Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) issued the following statement in support of Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) decision to initiate an impeachment inquiry against the 46th President of the United States, Joseph R. Biden.

“As a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, I’ve taken part in countless hours of public and private hearings, read thousands of pages of classified and unclassified documents, and have been briefed on a wide array of evidence unequivocally linking President Biden to blatant and pervasive corruption through his son Hunter Biden.

“Unlike Congressional Democrats during the Trump administration, House Republicans have taken the painstaking time to develop a substantial case to present before the House of Representatives and the American people outlining the severity and breadth of Biden’s corruption dating back to his days as vice president. The American people are exhausted and disheartened by the intentional and consistent prejudice in government investigations by Biden’s DOJ and under Nancy Pelosi’s reign, and yesterday’s launch of an impeachment inquiry makes it clear that President Biden will have to answer for his pay-for-play political career. I believe this inquiry will have met the high evidentiary bar to eventually impeach President Biden.”
