“House Republicans leading the impeachment investigation into President Joe Biden have an ally in their new speaker, Rep. Mike Johnson, whose leadership stands to rekindle the fizzled probe,” The Messenger reports.
“The impeachment inquiry faded to the background for a month, overshadowed by GOP infighting and a historic battle to choose a replacement for ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who launched the impeachment inquiry in September. McCarthy’s downfall raised questions about whether the probe would continue without the California Republican in power.”
“But as the dust settles on the party’s internal firestorm, it is becoming clear that Johnson is ready to steer the impeachment train full-throttled into the presidential election year — with his personal friend, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) at the helm.”
