Former President Donald Trump angrily urged Republicans in Congress to impeach President Joe Biden on Sunday, as he expressed annoyance at House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) comments from earlier in the day about a likely impeachment inquiry into the president.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote that while “well meaning” Republicans in Congress “keep talking about an Impeachment ‘Inquiry’ on Crooked Joe Biden,” he wants them to get on with the process.
Without providing evidence, Trump accused the president of accepting bribes, paying people off and withholding aid to Ukraine.
The former president then called Biden a “Stone Cold Crook,” claiming that a long inquiry was unnecessary to prove these allegations.
Trump pointed to his two impeachments and four indictments, implying that the GOP should impeach Biden in retaliation.
“Either IMPEACH the BUM, or fade into OBLIVION. THEY DID IT TO US,” Trump wrote in his post.
Earlier on Sunday, McCarthy signaled that an impeachment inquiry of Biden may be imminent. In an interview with Fox News, the House Speaker said, “If you look at all the information we have been able to gather so far, it is a natural step forward that you would have to go to an impeachment inquiry.”
