House Speaker Kevin McCarthy appears to be teasing a possible impeachment inquiry into Attorney General Merrick Garland on Sunday after a bombshell by an IRS whistleblower.

An IRS whistleblower told Congress that President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, threatened Chinese business people in Biden’s presence. Whistleblower Gary Shapley testified that the alleged text message exchanges came to light after an investigation into Hunter began in 2018. Biden claims he knew nothing about his son’s overseas business dealings.

McCarthy has raised the possibility of an impeachment inquiry against Garland. (Related: ‘Not an unfair question’: Reporters accuse KJP of dodging Hunter’s text message question).

“We need to get the facts out, and that includes reconciling these apparent disparities. U.S. Attorney David Weiss must answer the House Judiciary Committee,” McCarthy said. Tweeted. “If the whistleblower’s allegations are true, this will be a key part of a larger impeachment inquiry into Merrick Garland’s weaponization of the Justice Department.”

Now means tonight, and if I get a call or a text message from anyone related to this other than Z, you, Zhang, the chairman, the man sitting next to me and everyone he knows, I’ll see if I can retain my ability forever A grudge that you’ll regret not following my instructions.I’m sitting here waiting for a call from my father.”

The White House denied allegations that Biden was aware of Hunter’s deal, saying, “As I have said many times, the president did not make a deal with his son.”
