After months with no significant findings, the GOP effort to impeach President Joe Biden seems to be flailing.

But House Republicans are plowing ahead. There’s a hearing scheduled in House Oversight on Wednesday on “Examining Joe Biden’s Abuse of Public Office.” And Speaker Mike Johnson’s office blasted the White House for suggesting the House shut down its impeachment efforts.

“The White House does not get to decide how impeachment gets resolved; that is for Congress to decide,” Johnson spokesperson Raj Shah said in a statement.
