White House lawyer Edward Siskel urged House Speaker Mike Johnson to officially close the impeachment probe into President Joe Biden Friday in a strongly worded letter declaring the allegations against the president were “disproven time and time again”—a demand that comes as Republicans have begun to publicly acknowledge the probe appears dead.on the merits of the evidence and expressing fatigue with the lengthy probe—including Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo.
Buck, who has said repeatedly the allegations against the president don’t rise to the level of impeachment, accused his colleagues of having “taken impeachment and made it a social media issue as opposed to a constitutional concept,” while, citing more than a dozen witnesses linked to the president or his son, Hunter Biden, who testified that the president had no involvement in his son, or any other family members’, business dealings.
Siskel also referenced the credibility issues associated with several key witnesses who made some of the most damning claims against he president, including, who was charged last month with lying to the FBI about a bribery allegation against the president and his son—widely viewed as a critical breaking point in the impeachment probe.
Siskel also disparaged Republicans’ attempt to link Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents to the impeachment probe, calling it “a floatation device for the sinking impeachment effort.”“Enough is enough. It is obviously time to move on, Mr. Speaker. The impeachment is over,” Siskel wrote, urging the House to instead focus on “important priorities like funding our ally Ukraine and passing bipartisan border security measures.
