House Speaker Mike Johnson told Fox News on Friday that the White House does not get to \u2018call the shots\u2019 on when the President Biden impeachment inquiry ends after he received a letter this morning from a White House lawyer arguing that it\u2019s \u2018over.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

White House Counsel Ed Siskel, in his message to the Louisiana Republican, said \u2018it\u2019s obviously time to move on, Mr. Speaker.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018This impeachment is over,\u2019 Siskel declared. \u2018There is too much important work to be done for the American people to continue wasting time on this charade.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Johnson told Fox News\u2019 Chad Pergram on Capitol Hill Friday that \u2018They don\u2019t call the shots on it\u2019 and \u2018we\u2019ll deliberate over that when the investigation is complete.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re allowing the process to play out as the Constitution anticipates. Our committees of jurisdiction have done their duty,\u2019 Johnson added. \u2018They\u2019ve done an extraordinary job. They\u2019ve revealed some alarming information.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

In his letter, Siskel said \u2018The House Majority ought to work with the President on our economy, national security, and other important priorities on behalf of the American people, not continue to waste time on political stunts like this.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018The House Majority has reportedly collected more than 100,000 pages of records, interviewed dozens of witnesses, and held multiple public hearings\u2014but none of the evidence has demonstrated that the President did anything wrong,\u2019 Siskel also said, noting that \u2018Hunter Biden testified that he never involved his father in his business dealings\u2019 and \u2018Several witnesses have testified debunking claims related to President Biden\u2019s handling of classified documents.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Instead of admitting the truth that the President did nothing wrong, the Majority is wasting even more time on abusive steps like trying to re-interview witnesses who already testified \u2014 perhaps hoping the facts will be different the second time around,\u2019 Siskel continued. \u2018This is just the latest abusive tactic in this investigation. It has targeted the President\u2019s children, grandchildren, siblings, and in-laws for no reason. It has intruded into private citizens\u2019 personal records on everything from medical visits to birthday presents. Enough is enough.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

Siskel sent the letter two days after Hunter Biden\u2019s lawyer said his client would not attend a House Oversight Committee hearing next week regarding alleged influence peddling and the Biden family\u2019s business dealings, calling it a \u2018carnival side show.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
