Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced his plans Tuesday to launch an impeachment inquiry, saying it was the “logical next step” after months of probing by House Republicans into the Biden family. The investigations have so far yet to turn up evidence that the president violated the law.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy is seen on the House floor on the first day of the 118th Congress on Tuesday in Washington, D.C. The House adjourned without a speaker voted in., The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
Castro served as a manager in Trump’s 2021 impeachment trial after the violent Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. "It's exactly what we want to know, the answers, and I believe the President would want to answer these questions and allegations as well,” McCarthy told reporters outside of his Capitol office.
“I don’t think the House particularly cares what members of the Senate think,” he told CNN before McCarthy’s announcement. “If they actually do it, then our responsibility kicks in. But I’m not going to speculate about what they ultimately will do. I know there are some differences of opinion.” Cornyn’s office directed a request for comment on McCarthy’s Tuesday announcement to the senator’s remarks to CNN.
