The White House has struck back against congressional Republicans for considering an impeachment of President Joe Biden, urging the media to scrutinise an "inquiry based on lies".

"It is the responsibility of the independent press to treat their claims with appropriate scrutiny," top aide Ian Sams wrote.

House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced the investigation into Mr Biden, a Democrat, on Tuesday.

But there is dissent among Republicans.

Some rank-and-file lawmakers question whether they have sufficient evidence to impeach the president.

It is not uncommon for White House press officials to outline their case to journalists, but the 16-page document shows how seriously they are taking the impeachment threat.

 

Mr Sams, a special assistant to the president, addressed the memo to "editorial leaders at US news media organisations".

"After nearly nine months of investigating, House Republicans haven't been able to turn up any evidence of the President doing anything wrong," Mr Sams wrote.

"For years, Republicans in Congress have tried to muddy the waters by attracting media coverage of their allegations, and as they choose to move forward with impeachment, it is the responsibility of the independent press to treat their claims with the appropriate scrutiny," he wrote.

No you’re not, you’re interest in nothing but MAGA nonsense - it appears to be an identical syndrome to the “but, but Thaksin” brigade numpties.

Sooner or later there will be a full House vote on this and that will be the end of it. Why do you think McCarthy reneged on a full vote now?

end of what?
