Laurel Lee Scathes Biden After Impeachment Inquiry Report Declares 'Overwhelming Evidence' of Wrongdoing

Representative Laurel Lee (R-FL) spoke on the recent developments surrounding the 291-page report of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden (D), led by the House Committees on Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways and Means. The report shares that there is “overwhelming evidence” demonstrating President Biden attempted to conspire to “monetize his office of public trust to enrich his family,” constituting “impeachable conduct.”

Congresswoman Lee responded with a statement accusing the President and Vice President Kamala Harris (D) of obstructing justice.

“Joe Biden abused his position of power, as Vice President and as President, for the financial benefit of his family and business associates,” said Rep. Lee. “The Biden-Harris administration has repeatedly lied to the American people and obstructed investigations to hide the truth. See the 300-page House Judiciary report for yourself—the evidence does not lie. This administration must be held accountable.”

These comments come just days after Representative Pete Sessions (R-TX) appeared on “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins” to discuss the multiple House Committee impeachment inquiries into President Joe Biden (D) and the progress Republicans have made (or lack thereof) in their effort.

The Texas congressman shared that the Department of Justice “changed their tune” regarding the impeachment inquiry process surrounding President Biden compared to the proceedings under former President Donald Trump (R).

“I think it's important for the American public to know that when Donald Trump was President of the United States of America, the United States House of Representatives formally moved to where they would offer evidence of and open up on an impeachment issue,” said Rep. Sessions. “And during that period of time, the fact the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation aided and helped not just the House of Representatives, but the committees, and there were three of them that became deeply involved in the impeachment of the President of the United States. That was done because it was considered official business of the House of Representatives.”

Rep. Sessions continued by calling out the Department of Justice, claiming the institution did not equally apply its resources and duties.

“Well, all of a sudden, when it became Joe Biden, the administration, the Department of Justice, changed their tune, including instructions to the Federal Bureau of Investigation about not becoming involved in what was official business by the House of Representatives, where it dealt with a vote on the floor and moving forward,” said Sessions.

Laurel Lee represents Florida’s 15^th Congressional District. Pete Sessions represents Texas’ 17^th Congressional District.
