“Maybe they’ll decide to impeach me because it’s coming down,” he joked.

“I don’t know, I’d love that one. But anyway, that’s another story,” he added, in his first oral response to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s threat this week to launch an impeachment inquiry into Biden’s role in his family’s dealings in countries including China and Ukraine.
