WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement after voting to begin a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

“Today’s vote was necessary as House Republicans continue to face obstruction from the White House in our investigation of the Biden family’s corruption and President Biden’s involvement in a foreign influence peddling scheme,” said Rep. Fitzgerald. “From the 20 shell companies to the over $200 thousand in laundered funds, the evidence is not only overwhelming, it’s black and white. This vote for a formal inquiry will corroborate and bolster the evidence we already have pointing to abuse of power and violation of public trust.”
