Donald Trump has intensified his demand for the impeachment of President Joe Biden, accusing him of weaponising the justice system against political opponents. Speaking at a rally in North Charleston, South Carolina, the former president criticised Biden's handling of the economy, border security, and foreign policy, and urged Congress to act.
'Congress ought to impeach crooked Joe Biden for attacking his political opponent by weaponizing the DOJ, the FBI, and even the local DAs and attorney generals against his political opponent,' Trump told supporters. He described Biden as 'a threat to our democracy' and claimed law enforcement was being used to target him personally.
The call comes shortly after House Republicans successfully impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a move the White House condemned as 'a blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship'. In December, the House voted along party lines to formalise an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, focusing on his son Hunter's business dealings.
Hunter Biden's former business associate, Tony Bobulinski, testified before Congress that Joe Biden was 'the brand' and 'an enabler' in his family's foreign business deals. However, top Oversight Democrat Jamie Raskin dismissed the testimony, stating it provided 'no evidence of any criminal activity by President Biden'.
