Appearing Sunday on WFAA’s “Inside Texas Politics,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said she would “absolutely” support launching an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump if Democrats regain control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections.
“Once we get to the majority, which I’m hoping and praying we get to, next cycle, that allows me to start to open up and do the things that would look like an impeachment Now, whether or not we would put it to a vote, you know, he’s been impeached twice, couldn’t get convicted. There’s a lot of things to consider about whether or not to go forward,” she said. When asked if she would pursue impeachment, Crockett said, “I would absolutely at least do an inquiry. Absolutely.”
“One of the things that we saw that they did very effectively last cycle is that they decided they were going to put Joe Biden into the trial of public opinion. They went after his son Hunter Biden,” Crockett continued. “They were saying because Hunter was having issues, Joe must have issues. And so what they were doing is they were tearing down Joe Biden as well as the Democrats at the same time.
“So I think that there is something to be said for us digging in when there’s real things to look at, such as this $400 million plane from the Qataris and whether or not that’s a violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution. I think that we need to dig into all this crypto nonsense that he’s got going on. I think we need to dig into the fact that it looks like he’s giving out pardons for play,” she said without presenting any evidence.
In addition to federal gun and tax charges, through subsequent investigations, Republicans also found substantial evidence that Hunter Biden was using his then-vice president father, Joe Biden, as a means of extracting money for access through a number of international conduits in Ukraine, Russia, and even China.
