\n“You don\u2019t bring a vote to the floor unless you are pretty sure that you can get the amount of votes that you need,” Tuberville said on NBC’s “Meet the Press NOW.” “I know that wouldn\u2019t make it to anywhere over here in the Senate. That probably wouldn\u2019t even \u2014 wouldn\u2019t even let it make it to the floor. But again, this is all up to the House. We got enough problems going on right now.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
On Tuesday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave the go-ahead to begin the impeachment process. An inquiry is the first step of the impeachment process, where evidence is gathered for the articles, or charges, of impeachment against an official.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The allegations\u00a0against Biden\u00a0concern the president’s role in his son Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings and whether the Biden family used Joe Biden’s public office for personal profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Today, I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden,” McCarthy announced in a statement at the Capitol on Tuesday.. “This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the American public.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Tuberville says an impeachment is a waste of time unless it’s “ironclad.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“I\u2019m not for impeachment unless it is ironclad,” he said. “As I said about President Trump, if you\u2019re gonna come after a former president or president, let\u2019s not waste time. Let\u2019s know the truth. Let\u2019s be able to bring it out. Let the American people know.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We got enough problems up here right now without going through an impeachment process, but they\u2019ll do the right thing,” he added, referring to the House. “Hopefully we just find out what\u2019s going on and, and American people get the truth.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
