Rep. Matt Gaetz said the House Republicans will look “unserious” to the public if they fail to impeach President Joe Biden for his alleged corruption.
In a recent interview with Newsmax host Chris Salcedo, the Fort Walton Beach Republican said the Judiciary Committee would subpoena U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who is leading the investigation into Hunter Biden’s shady business deals, and Attorney General Merrick Garland to talk about why the Justice Department applies a “double standard” to the Bidens and former President Donald Trump.
Gaetz also said that many moderate Republicans have called for using impeachment powers to get to the bottom of the Bidens’ behavior.

“I was heartened by the full-throated support for that position that we received from our Judiciary colleagues,” Gaetz told Salcedo.
Gaetz added that Republicans should not be deterred from pursuing a case against Joe Biden by claims from the Justice Department that the investigation is ongoing.
“I think if we do not begin this impeachment work, we’re going to look unserious as House Republicans and conservatives,” Gaetz said.
On the social media platform X, Gaetz added, “We will be demanding that Special Counsel David Weiss must come to Congress and testify under oath on the investigation into the Biden Crime Family.”
“Weiss’s appointment is just the next step in the cover up after the sweetheart plea deal [for Hunter Biden] didn’t work.”

As the Tampa Free Press has reported, earlier this month, Rep. Greg Steube, a Sarasota Republican, filed articles of impeachment against Biden.
Steube alleged that Biden was involved in illegal influence peddling, obstruction of justice, fraud, and taking money that was spent on illegal drug deals and prostitutes.
“It’s long past time to impeach Joe Biden. He has undermined the integrity of his office, brought disrepute on the Presidency, betrayed his trust as President, and acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice at the expense of America’s citizens,” Steube said in a statement at the time.
“The evidence continues to mount by the day – the Biden Crime Family has personally profited off Joe’s government positions through bribery, threats, and fraud. Joe Biden must not be allowed to continue to sit in the White House, selling out our country.”
