Joe Biden on Sunday responded with sarcasm when asked about the inquiry launched by Speaker Kevin McCarthy last week. “Lots of luck," said Biden while deriding the House's impeachment probe against him. McCarthy initiated the probe saying Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations about the president, according to a report published by Bloomberg. The formal inquiry is expected to focus on seeking to implicate the president in his son Hunter Biden’s overseas business affairs, though the full scope of the investigation isn’t clear.

Biden late on Wednesday brushed off the House Republicans' impeachment inquiry, saying the way he sees it, they launched the investigation against him because they want to shut down the federal government. Biden, speaking at a Democratic fundraiser in Virginia, said that instead of being concerned about the probe, «I'm focused on the things the American people want me focused on». The president's remarks were the first since Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced the launch of a Biden impeachment inquiry while the Republican House leader is also struggling to shore up votes to fund the government and prevent a federal shutdown. «The best I can tell is they want to impeach me because they want to shut down the government,» Biden said.

Acting on his own, the Republican speaker McCarthy faces mounting pressure from his right flank to take action against Biden or risk being ousted from his leadership job — while he also is struggling to pass legislation needed to avoid a federal government shutdown at the end of the month. McCarthy is launching the inquiry without a House vote, and it's unclear if he would even have enough support from his slim GOP majority.
