Christie Would Prosecute Trump, Sees No Evidence to Impeach Biden

September 12, 2023

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie criticized House Republicans for pursuing an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden, calling the move a “cheapening” of impeachment.

Christie made his remarks during an MSNBC interview, stating that he sees no evidence supporting the impeachment of Biden. This comes as House Republicans, led by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, are endorsing an effort to begin an impeachment inquiry focused on Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and his business deals.

The Republican calls for impeachment claim that President Biden used his influence to aid his son’s business ventures. Hunter Biden is currently under investigation by a federal special counsel in Delaware.

While Christie expressed skepticism over impeaching Biden, he has previously stated he would prosecute former President Donald Trump if given the chance, drawing a clear distinction between his stance on the two presidents.

Kevin McCarthy, who is supporting the impeachment inquiry against Biden, described it as the “logical next step” in the House’s ongoing investigations.

Christie’s comments illustrate the divisions within the Republican party as it grapples with its approach to both the current and former presidents.
