Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, is leading an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. The investigation seeks to determine whether Biden was involved in schemes of influence peddling during his tenure as vice president.

In an interview with Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures," Comer was asked about the possibility of impeachment. He responded, "I think he should, but thats going to be left up to the speaker. People ask me why I havent put someone in jail yet. All I can do is investigate."

Historically, only four presidential impeachments have occurred in the United States, three of which took place in the last 25 years, including the two most recent against former President Donald Trump.

Newly appointed Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, has yet to endorse a formal impeachment of Biden. However, he has indicated that a decision will be made "very soon."

Comer hinted that "subpoenas are imminent" and that "this is going to be a big week." His committee has so far refrained from directly subpoenaing Hunter Biden or other members of the first family for testimony.

When asked by host Maria Bartiromo if he planned to call in the president and his son for questioning, Comer confirmed, "Absolutely. We have always planned on doing that."

As chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Comer has been examining the Biden family's dealings since the GOP took control of the House of Representatives earlier this year. The Oversight Committee is conducting the impeachment inquiry in conjunction with the Judiciary Committee and Ways and Means Committee.

Comer made bold assertions about the findings of the congressional investigators regarding the Biden family. He claimed, "We have subpoenaed bank accounts. And now we have enough bank accounts, Maria, where we can actually trace the money." He accused the Biden family of "money laundering," describing their activities as a "very organized criminal enterprise."

The White House has vehemently denied Comer's allegations against the president's family, accusing him of making outrageous claims without providing supporting evidence.

"Comers lies and conspiracy theories are getting more desperate by the day," White House spokesman Ian Sams posted on X last week. Sams' comment was in response to a memo from the Oversight Committee alleging that the president received $40,000 in "laundered" funds from CEFC China Energy, a company linked to the Chinese government, in 2017 when he was not in office.

Comer also argued that the president will need to address the public regarding the terms of the loans. He said, "The next big question the Biden family, including Joe Biden, is going to have to answer to the American people is, what exactly are the terms of these loans? What type of documentation do you have on these loans?"

Hunter Biden, the president's son who has been embroiled in scandal, recently wrote an op-ed in USA Today. He lamented the scrutiny he has faced and accused Republicans of "weaponizing" his struggles with drug addiction.

Joe Biden is currently the leading contender to represent his party in the 2024 election. However, recent polls from the New York Times and Sienna College show the incumbent president trailing Trump, the GOP frontrunner, in five of six key battleground states.
