Republican Rep. Don Bacon (Neb.) said on Sunday that House Republicans are 'probably nearing the conclusion' of their impeachment investigation into President Biden.
Bacon mentioned he talked with lawyers from the committees leading the impeachment inquiry into Biden, who indicated that currently, there's 'not a specific crime that has been committed.'
“And he’d need that for high crime or misdemeanor. Now, I think it merited an investigation to put the facts out, let the public look at it, make a determination,” Bacon said Sunday during an interview on NBC News’s “Meet The Press.”
Bacon noted that the details were 'important' for the American people to see while acknowledging that they were 'in itself, not a high crime or misdemeanor.'
When asked if it's time for the GOP conference to end their investigation into Biden, Bacon said, 'I don’t know if it’s time, right now. But I do think we’re probably nearing the conclusion of this investigation.'
House Republicans have struggled recently to close their impeachment inquiry into Biden and are encountering increasing doubts from their own party about whether investigators found any wrongdoing.
The House GOP's official impeachment inquiry aimed to lend legal weight to their claims, which revolve around allegations that Biden was involved in his son, Hunter Biden’s, foreign business deals.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) last week invited the president to testify before the committee on April 16.
Ian Sams, White House spokesperson for oversight and investigations, called the 'request a sad stunt at the end of a dead impeachment,' last week, and suggested Comer 'call it a day.'
