Newly elected Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said that she is planning to file articles of impeachment against President-elect Joe Biden on his first full day in office in the White House (WH) next week.
During an appearance on Newsmax, Wednesday evening, Greene, a vocal supporter of President Trump, affirmed that she is about to introduce a measure to impeach Biden on Jan. 21, one day only after his inauguration.
“Greene went on to say that she would like to announce on behalf of the American people, who wants to make sure their leaders are held accountable.
She claimed that Americans cannot have a president of the United States who is willing to abuse the power of the office of the presidency and be easily bought off by foreign governments, foreign Chinese energy companies, Ukrainian energy companies, so on Jan. 21, she will be filing articles of impeachment on Joe Biden.
She did not specify what the articles might charge Biden with.
But she, in the interview with the Hill, cited that an argument advanced by several Trump allies in the final months of his reelection campaign that while vice president, Biden threatened to withhold a loan to Ukraine if then-Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin was not replaced.
Shokin at the time was investigating the founder of Burisma Holdings, a natural gas giant in Ukraine, of which Biden’s son Hunter Biden had served as a member of the board since 2014.
The U.S. threatened to withhold roughly $1 billion in loan guarantees if Shokin was not replaced as prosecutor general, a message Joe Biden delivered to officials in Kiev while serving as vice president and recounted during a 2018 Council on Foreign Relations conference.
Taylor Greene shared a clip from the 2018 conference on Wednesday, writing “Quid Pro Joe, in his own words...” and “Americans will not tolerate this."
