Joe Biden Says Republicans Should Drop Impeachment Following FBI Bombshell – By Arthur Delaney (Huffpost) / Feb 16, 2024
A bribery allegation against Biden collapsed this week after the Justice Department said one of its informants had lied.
WASHINGTON ― President Joe Biden said Friday that Republicans should drop their impeachment inquiry against him after the Justice Department said an FBI informant made up a bribery allegation.
“He is lying and it should be dropped,” Biden said at brief White House press conference, in response to a question from a reporter.
“It’s been an outrageous effort from the beginning,” he added of the impeachment effort.
Since last year, Republicans have trumpeted unverified bribery accusations from an FBI informant who claimed to have heard them from a Ukrainian oligarch. But after the Justice Department announced it would be prosecuting the informant for allegedly fabricating the bribe rumors, Democrats called on Republicans to drop impeachment.
