WASHINGTON — House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, one of the leaders of the Republican impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, is increasingly suggesting a potential off-ramp from pursuing articles of impeachment. As GOP leaders struggle to convince their members that Biden should be impeached, Comer, R-Ky., is telling supporters it may be futile because Democrats would thwart the effort anyway. Some Republicans say they haven’t seen enough evidence to impeach the president.
Republicans considered Mayorkas an easier target for impeachment than Biden, arguing that the secretary has been delinquent on immigration enforcement. In an interview Monday on Fox News Radio, Comer was pressed on why news outlets have reported that his committee has turned up no concrete evidence of wrongdoing by Biden in its probe and whether Attorney General Merrick Garland is seeking to protect Biden.
