GOP’s impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden‘s no-show at his congressional deposition has been branded an “impeachable offense” by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).
What Happened: Greene took to social media platform X on Wednesday to express her dismay at Hunter Biden’s non-attendance at his designated deposition.
Greene, quoting a House Republican leadership announcement, posted on social media that “This is an impeachable offense.”
The House GOP is probing if President Biden attempted to “influence or obstruct his son’s cooperation with the House's impeachment inquiry,” a charge if validated, could be an impeachable offense.
The letter also inferred that Karine Jean-Pierre, a spokesperson, was possibly aware in advance about Mr. Biden’s decision to not attend the deposition and instead testify in a public setting.
Why It Matters: On Dec. 13, Hunter Biden opted to interact with reporters instead of appearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. The committee had cautioned Hunter Biden that his non-attendance at the deposition could trigger contempt of Congress proceedings.
The outspoken conservative Greene has occasionally been in news for her contentious and polarizing remarks. Last week, she was criticized for encouraging the U.S. to follow Argentina’s government downsizing measures, sparking backlash on social media.
On Christmas day, she fell victim to a ‘swatting’ prank, leading to a police response at her Georgia residence. This was the eighth such incident, as she revealed on social media.
