House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries statement on impeachment inquiry into President Biden

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) posted the following on Twitter (now X) in response to the announcement of an impeachment inquiry into President Biden Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

The illegitimate impeachment inquiry launched by Extreme MAGA Republicans is regrettable, reckless and reprehensible.

It is a political revenge tour that lacks any factual or constitutional basis.

Democrats will defend the truth and fight right-wing extremists at every turn.
