Speaker Kevin McCarthy is demanding that the US attorney who prosecuted Hunter Biden testify before the Senate Judiciary and said his answers could be used as part of an impeachment inquiry for Biden.
McCarthy tweeted:

Kevin McCarthy tries to save his job. The MAGA portion of the House Republican caucus is demanding Biden’s impeachment. McCarthy can get on board, get out of the way, or take the boat. Speaker McCarthy has chosen to board.
Whatever happens, it seems likely that Hakeem Jeffries will be Speaker of the House in January 2025 and Kevin McCarthy will be Minority Leader again, or the House Republicans will move to someone else.
The impeachment plan being devised by the House GOP is a rash effort based on Russian disinformation.
It won’t help Trump, they won’t get mainstream attention, and Biden’s impeachment is likely to backfire.
President Biden is not Donald Trump. The former president basks in crime and is bathed in misdeeds. Republicans are trying to fit a scandal into a man who has been in public life for more than half a century and has never had a hint of corruption around him.
Biden impeachment is a very bad idea from a strategic point of view, and if it fails, it will only add to the GOP’s 2024 avalanche of disaster.
