Alex Miller, The Washington Times

House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to move ahead with a formal vote for the impeachment

inquiry into President Biden, arguing that the move is necessary because the White House has “stonewalled” investigators. Mr. Johnson, flanked by House Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, accused the White House of blocking up to three Justice Department witnesses from testifying to House investigators and withholding thousands of pages of evidence. “It’s become a necessary step,” Mr. Johnson told the hosts of “Fox & Friends.”
