James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said in a recent interview that there is a chance an impeachment vote against President Joe Biden will not come from his investigation.
The GOP-led House may not even conduct a vote based on Comer's committee's findings, he said in an interview with Spectrum News last week. He was alluding to the GOP's dwindling majority and distrust within the Republican party.
Even several House Republicans acknowledge that the Kentucky Republican, whose probe has leveled dramatic accusations of corruption against the president, has not yet made any tangible proof of misconduct public.
Comer said to Spectrum that House Republicans would be watching closely to see how the Democratic-controlled Senate handles the recent impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
"I believe the conference will see the outcome of Mayorkas' impeachment in the Senate and the seriousness with which the Senate handles the question of whether or not to impeach Joe Biden here, or whether we are just concerned with holding him responsible." Comer mentioned to Spectrum.
Comer went on, "I hope the accountability comes this year, but it may come next year with a new president, a new attorney general," implying that if Trump wins the presidency, Biden may be subject to a DOJ probe after he leaves office.
Ultimately, I want to expose the truth and make those responsible for wrongdoing pay for their actions. That may include impeachment. I do not mind if it doesn't," Comer said.
