House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana has assumed a pivotal leadership role, addressing critical issues that weigh heavily on the legislative branch and the nation at large.
However, Johnson has issued a stern reminder to the White House: President Joe Biden is not yet in the clear regarding the looming threat of impeachment. As reported by the Conservative Brief on Saturday, October 28, 2023, Johnson conveyed his concerns to Fox News, asserting his belief that Biden is involved in an “ongoing cover-up” and has “repeatedly lied” about his role and knowledge concerning his son, Hunter Biden’s, business dealings.

Johnson emphasized that the impeachment inquiry into the President would proceed “methodically” and without a predetermined outcome. In an interview with Fox News, Johnson stressed the importance of adhering to due process, stating, “Impeachment is an awesome power that Congress has, and it is not intended to be, nor should it be, used as a political tool to be wielded lightly.” He underscored the gravity with which House Republicans approach this matter, emphasizing their dedication to fulfilling their constitutional duties.
Mike Johnson’s election to the role of Speaker was marked by unanimous support from the entire GOP caucus. He has pledged that House Republicans will continue their investigation into the Bidens, ensuring a thorough collection of evidence and an unwavering pursuit of the truth. “We’ve not predetermined the outcome of this. We’ve not pre-judged it,” he affirmed. “But I think everyone can see how it is unfolding.”
This inquiry is led by prominent figures in the House, including Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, James Comer, Chairman of the Oversight Committee, and Jason Smith, Chairman of the Ways & Means Committee, all of whom have shown remarkable diligence in uncovering evidence.
The scope of the impeachment inquiry, which encompasses events from Joe Biden’s time as Vice President to the present, has raised questions among legal experts. When asked about its breadth, Johnson indicated that he could argue for its extension, although it might not be necessary in this specific case.
In a separate interview with Sean Hannity, Johnson discussed the influence of his Christian faith on his worldview. He acknowledged his past association with the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian advocacy group, and clarified his involvement as primarily related to defending state marriage amendments defining marriage as between one man and one woman. Johnson reaffirmed his stance on religious liberty but also expressed his love for all individuals, regardless of their lifestyle choices.
Johnson’s worldview, he explained, is deeply rooted in the Bible. He encouraged anyone interested in his beliefs to “pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it.” He made no apologies for his Christian faith, asserting that it informs his outlook and guides his principles.
As House Speaker, Mike Johnson stands at the helm of the House of Representatives, navigating the impeachment inquiry diligently and in accordance with constitutional principles. He remains steadfast in adhering to the principles that guide his own life while fulfilling his role as a leader in the nation’s legislative process.
