Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene used a damning new report to call anew on Saturday for impeaching President Joe Biden.
As reported by Newsweek, the Georgia Republican has been pushing to impeach Biden since before he was inaugurated. On his first day in office, she filed articles of impeachment alleging a host of improper and potentially illegal foreign business dealings with his son, Hunter Biden.
Politico reported on Saturday that many of Biden’s closest staff and advisers have also been business associates of his family members. Interviews from a House impeachment inquiry, along with public records and emails, revealed overlaps between Biden’s professional and family ties, including shared personnel like a bookkeeper with his son Hunter and a personal lawyer with his brother Jim. It’s not clear if his current or former staffers are involved in the business affairs of his relatives.
Greene took to the X platform to respond to the report and to push once again for Biden’s impeachment.
“This is exactly why I filed articles of impeachment on Joe Biden on his first full day in office. He has abused his position of power to personally enrich himself and his family for years. There is no bigger scandal in American politics. Joe Biden must be IMPEACHED, convicted in the Senate, and removed from office. Then he must be prosecuted for his crimes and thrown in prison,” she wrote.

In December, the House of Representatives initiated an impeachment inquiry into President Biden with a vote of 221-212 along party lines. Republicans claim that Biden, while vice president under President Obama, improperly used his position to benefit the business dealings of his son, Hunter Biden, allegedly gaining financially from these activities. President Biden has denied any involvement in his son’s business dealings, but several eyewitnesses have testified before GOP-led House committees that the elder Biden was definitely directly involved and that Hunter’s entire ‘business’ was selling access to his father.
As for Greene, she handily won the nomination for her congressional district last month and took to the X platform to thank her constituents.
“THANK YOU Northwest Georgia!! It’s the honor of a lifetime to serve as your Congresswoman. I’m so grateful to be your Republican nominee to represent you once again in District 14. Let’s win BIG in November, send President Trump back to the White House, and send me back to Congress to support his America First agenda!” she wrote in a post containing a campaign graphic.
Earlier that month, Greene lashed out at Fox News after a columnist on the network’s website called her an “idiot.”
“Fox News called me an idiot. That was literally their headline. They called me an idiot,” she said to “War Room” podcast host and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon. “But what I’ve done is expose what was already happening in the dark.”
The comment was in response to an opinion piece by Fox News contributor Liz Peek that had the headline “Marjorie Taylor Greene is an idiot. She is trying to wreck the GOP.”
“It’s high time someone in the Republican Party told Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to turn all that bombastic self-serving showmanship and drama queen energy on Democrats, and stop trying to defeat her own party,” the author said in the piece.
“The internal squabbles of the party need to stop. If Marjorie Taylor Greene and others want to oppose aid to Ukraine or the FISA bill, they can vote against it. That’s how democracy works. My message for MTG? Borrowing from Hillary Clinton: Get over yourself. The mission today is to elect Donald Trump,” Peek wrote.
