"Congressional Biden ally dismisses Republicans' impeachment strategy, while Trump denies pressuring House Republicans"

Congressman Ro Khanna, a key ally of President Joe Biden, dismissed the Republican strategy of using an impeachment inquiry as leverage for funding the government and addressing their concerns about Hunter Biden's business affairs. Khanna argued that there are no grounds for an impeachment inquiry and highlighted that Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy lacks the necessary votes to call for one. He also pointed to a Washington Post opinion piece by Republican Congressman Ken Buck, which stated that there is no evidence to justify a Biden impeachment. Khanna emphasized that many Republicans prefer to focus on avoiding a government shutdown rather than pursuing impeachment.
