In a scathing letter sent on Friday morning, the White House counsel, Ed Siskel, urged House Republicans to give up on their impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, calling it nothing more than a "charade". Siskel stated that "it is clear the House Republican impeachment is over," emphasizing that the evidence collected so far has failed to demonstrate any wrongdoing on the part of the president.

House Republicans had gathered over 100,000 pages of records and conducted interviews with numerous witnesses, including public hearings. However, according to Siskel, none of the evidence presented has supported the allegations against Biden. The White House counsel pointed out that many of these allegations stem from troubling sources, including an FBI informant who was recently charged with lying about explosive claims regarding Biden.

This letter from Siskel indicates a growing aggression from the White House against the impeachment inquiry, with Democrats suggesting the move is intended to divert attention from pressing matters during an election year. Siskel emphasized the need to focus on important work for the American people instead, stating, "It's obviously time to move on...there is too much important work to be done...to continue wasting time on this charade."

Siskel further highlighted that members of Johnson's own party are turning away from the impeachment inquiry. He cited Republican Representative Ken Buck from Colorado, who recently announced his resignation at the end of March, leaving the GOP with a weaker House majority. Buck voiced his frustration, stating, "We've taken impeachment and made it a social media issue as opposed to a constitutional concept."

The impeachment inquiry has centered around claims that Biden benefited from his son Hunter Biden's foreign business activities. However, as Republicans scramble to find definitive evidence to support their claims, it remains uncertain whether the upcoming hearing with Hunter Biden's former business partners will deliver the conclusive proof they seek.

Responding to the White House's plea to abandon the inquiry, House Speaker Mike Johnson's spokesperson, Raj Shah, stated that it is not up to the White House to decide the fate of the impeachment inquiry. Shah emphasized that the resolution of the impeachment lies within the hands of Congress.

Johnson himself has acknowledged that frustration has arisen due to the length of the inquiry, but he maintains that the revelations thus far have been alarming. He emphasized the importance of following the constitutional process, stating, "In our constitutional system, that is the way it's supposed to work."

As the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden continues to unfold, the White House's firm rejection of the investigation raises questions about the future direction of the impeachment proceedings. With Republicans searching for concrete evidence to support their allegations, the next steps in this polarizing process remain uncertain.
