Utah Rep. Burgess Owens uses fundraising email to push for impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden

Rep. Burgess Owens says Congress should open an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, and he’s using the issue to raise money for his 2024 reelection campaign.

On Monday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy suggested the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the financial dealings of Biden’s son Hunter may warrant opening an impeachment inquiry into the president, Politico reported.

Owens enthusiastically endorsed the move through an email sent out by his campaign on Wednesday morning.

“In recent weeks, the American people have learned through whistleblowers that Joe Biden and his son may have taken millions of dollars in foreign bribes while he was in office,” Owens’s email reads. “It’s time to open up an inquiry into President Joe Biden.”

While Owen’s message does not make any mention of fundraising, readers who click on a banner reading “Stand with me - Demand an impeachment inquiry here” are redirected to a fundraising page where they can agree with Owens by donating up to $6,6000 to his campaign.

“As we receive more information from credible whistleblowers, we are confronted with alarming allegations that President Joe Biden and his son may have entangled themselves in foreign bribery schemes,” said Adam Jones, a spokesperson for Owens’ campaign. “It is the responsibility of the House of Representatives to take these claims seriously and investigate these grave allegations. Congressman Owens remains committed to the process and supports all legal means, including an impeachment inquiry, to get answers for the American people on whether or not their president is a crook.”

The whistleblowers at the center of allegations of corruption against President Biden include two IRS employees who allege the Justice Department interfered with the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, who had agreed to plead guilty to tax evasion charges, The New York Times reported. That plea agreement appeared to fall apart on Wednesday morning.

Gal Luft, a third whistleblower who claims to have evidence of corruption by the Bidens, was charged by federal prosecutors for allegedly acting as a foreign agent for China and arms trafficking.

There is no reported evidence linking President Biden to any of the crimes his son has been accused of.

Utah Rep. Blake Moore’s office said in a statement to The Salt Lake Tribune that impeaching a president is a very serious matter.

“Impeachment of a president is a high bar and sets a consequential precedent. Should House leadership pursue an impeachment inquiry, Congressman Moore is committed to upholding the seriousness of impeachment and seeking facts over partisan points,” they said.

Rep. John Curtis and Chris Stewart did not respond to questions about the possibility of starting an impeachment inquiry.

It’s unlikely Stewart would still be in office for any potential impeachment proceedings since he’s resigning from his seat following the August recess on Sept. 15. None of the three Republican candidates vying to replace him, Becky Edwards, Bruce Hough and Celeste Maloy responded to questions.

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. sets the tone for Washington Huskies’ run to the college football title game

New Orleans • The Sugar Bowl was a little more than 24 hours away, and sixth-year Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. called a players-only meeting as their moment drew near. He walked to the front of the room on two surgically repaired knees along with edge rusher Edefuan Ulofoshio and delivered a message. The new year was five hours away. Bourbon Street was a short walk away. Families flooded into town. Texas fans, much to Washington’s chagrin, were all over the Huskies’ team hotel, too. This was their time to lock in and focus. They needed to block out distractions, though the midnight fireworks downtown made it hard to get to sleep early. He reminded them they’d been working their whole lives for an opportunity like the one they’d earned. They’d won their past nine games by 10 or fewer points and needed second-half comebacks to win three of them. All of it had carried them to this moment. He told them to be ready. No one was more ready than Penix himself, who connect...
