The White House criticized House Republicans for not ending the impeachment inquiry into President Biden, and called the hearing earlier that day embarrassing for them.
White House spokesperson Ian Sams said the hearing was embarrassing for House Republicans and a waste of time. He urged to move on to more important issues.
The White House has been urging Republicans to stop the impeachment inquiry, saying it was a waste of time from the start and now insisting the investigation is over. White House counsel Ed Siskel wrote a letter. wrote a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) last week, arguing that the months-long effort to uncover wrongdoing by Biden has come up empty.
Republicans invited two witnesses to the hearing on Wednesday who had little connection to Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and his business dealings.
Some Republicans have been critical of the probe and have expressed doubts it will lead to a formal impeachment trial.
A handful of conservative media personalities have also questioned if the impeachment probe should proceed. Newsmax host Rob Finnerty on Wednesday pressed Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on if the probe is moving, adding “it kind of seems like you’re chasing your tail at this point.”
