BREAKING: McCarthy says House will ‘start impeachment inquiries’ on Biden’s AG Merrick Garland if whistleblower info true

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said on Monday that the House will undertake an impeachment inquiry into Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland by July 6.

The Daily Mail's Kelly Laco reports that McCarthy said "And if it comes true what the IRS whistleblower is saying, we're going to start impeachment inquiries on the attorney general."

McCarthy said on Sunday that US Attorney David Weiss, for Delaware, "must provide answers to the House Judiciary Committee" as to why an investigation into Hunter Biden's taxes was stalled. 

This comes after IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley testified that Weiss, and others, obstructed their investigation in the younger Biden's taxes, with Weiss saying at one point that he would not decide if the prosecution should take place, but would leave it to the higher-ups at the DOJ.

"We need to get to the facts," McCarthy said, "and that includes reconciling these clear disparities. US Attorney David Weiss must provide answers to the House Judiciary Committee. If the whistleblowers' allegations are true, this will be a significant part of a larger impeachment inquiry into Merrick Garland's weaponization of DOJ."

Shapley gave testimony to the House detailing the IRS investigation into Hunter Biden's alleged tax crimes. In October 2022, US Attorney for Delaware Weiss told Shapley at a meeting that he was "not the deciding official on whether charges are filed." Shapley also learned at this meeting that US Attorney for DC Matthew Graves would not allow charges to be filed against Hunter Biden in his district.

Weiss said, according to Shapley, that "he subsequently asked for special counsel authority from Main DOJ at that time and was denied that authority."
