The White House has taken steps to prepare for a potential Republican impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, according to a White House aide familiar with the strategy. The war room, which consists of two dozen lawyers, legislative aides and communications staffers, is expected to lead an aggressive response to the inquiry.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been medically cleared to resume his duties by the U.S. Capitol attending physician, Dr. Brian Monahan. McConnell had experienced lightheadedness at an event in Kentucky this week, but Dr. Monahan said that it was not uncommon in concussion recovery and could also be a result of dehydration.
The White House has expressed that comparing this impeachment inquiry to past impeachments is not a fair comparison. A White House aide said that it is “apples to elephants”. Biden’s aides and allies have also stated that they will present the inquiry as an evidence-free partisan sham that shows a GOP penchant for chaos.
The White House’s war room is expected to lead the response to the impeachment inquiry, and the White House has expressed that they are prepared to vigorously push back against it. It remains to be seen how the inquiry will unfold, and what the White House’s response will be.
