Speaker McCarthy expected to endorse impeachment inquiry into President Biden

McCarthy wants to obtain documents from the president and his son, Hunter Biden.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is expected to endorse an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, two sources told ABC News.

Sources said he plans to tell his conference the impeachment inquiry is the "the logical next step" in order to obtain bank records and other documents from the president and his son, Hunter Biden.

McCarthy has made it clear there will be a vote for an impeachment inquiry, but as of now he doesn't appear to have the votes to open one.

The endorsement was first reported by Punchbowl News.

McCarthy has signaled a Biden impeachment inquiry for weeks.

Back in August, he told Fox News, an impeachment inquiry would be "a natural step forward," arguing it “provides Congress the apex of legal power to get all the information they need.” So far, Republicans have not been able to prove any wrongdoing by President Biden.
