GOP Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appeared to suggest during a recent episode of “Meet the Press” that there is a lack of compelling evidence to launch an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden.
Host Kristen Welker asked Graham what he thought about the allegations against Biden.
Graham responded by saying he had been following the proceedings, then implied the inquiry does not hold enough weight.
The Republican Senator said the inquiry must demonstrate that Joe Biden benefited financially from his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
“If there were a smoking gun, I think we’d be talking about it,” Graham said, suggesting he is skeptical about the evidence presented in the inquiry.
He added:
“The narrative that Hunter Biden’s presented side is falling apart.”
“The idea that Joe Biden knew anything about the business dealings is falling apart. I’m not worried about impeaching the president.”
The claims echo Senator Chuck Grassley’s comments, who also expressed doubts regarding the presence of substantial evidence to imepach Biden.
These claims align with Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who also expressed doubts regarding the presence of substantial evidence against President Biden.

Meanwhile, Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) said Biden cannot be impeached for actions or alleged crimes that occurred before he was elected president in 2020.
“So what he did as vice president, what he did in between the two [offices] may not be impeachable,” Mullin said during an interview on Newsmax.
“If they send us a case, make sure it’s convictable,” Mullin advised.

Senator Ron Johnson accused Democrats of ignoring substantial evidence of Biden’s corruption.
“Dems and the media love to say ‘there’s no evidence’ of President Biden’s corruption. We have checks, emails, and testimony. What did the Biden family members do in exchange for tens of millions of dollars from foreign entities adversarial to America? There is a mountain of evidence, and it’s unfortunate the media won’t acknowledge it,” Johnson wrote on X.
