House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) stated that the Republican-controlled chamber is edging closer to initiating an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden in response to allegations that the President accepted millions of dollars in bribes from foreign countries.

McCarthy’s comments follow the release of an FBI-generated FD-1023 form by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) last week. According to the form, a human confidential source informed the FBI that Mykola Zlochevsky, the co-founder and CEO of Burisma, asserted that he was “coerced” by then-Vice President Biden and his son. Zlochevsky claimed that they compelled him to pay millions of dollars in bribes, with the intention of leveraging Ukraine to dismiss a prosecutor who was investigating Burisma, the Daily Wire noted.

In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday, “They bribed the Bidens. Okay, this was given to the FBI when Bill Barr finally found out about it, he sent it to his office in Philadelphia. They actually said that this was very credible. The FBI kept this from the IRS individuals for them ever to see it. So not only do they claim that they were bribed, we now find information that 16 out of 17 payments from Romania were provided to the Biden shell companies while he was vice president.”

“When President Biden was running for office, he told the American public that he’s never talked about business. He said his family has never received a dollar from China, which we now prove is not true. We now have some of the most credible whistleblowers. These 10-year IRS agents who have come forward said that the Biden family has been treated differently,” the California Republican continued.

“That what Weiss has told us is different than what Garland and Weiss has told the public. And you’re sitting here today where now you have found millions of foreign money just with the 1023 alleges they did to Biden’s family. Now we found that it has funneled through shell companies,” he added.

“If you’re sitting in our position today, we would know none of this, if Republicans had not taken the majority. We’ve only followed where the information has taken us,” he noted further. “But this is rising to the level of impeachment inquiry, which provides Congress the strongest power to get the rest of the knowledge and information needed. Because this president has also used something we have not seen since Richard Nixon used the weaponization of government to benefit his family and deny Congress the ability to have the oversight.”
