House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer was said to be “fed up” with the GOP’s ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden just four months after the probe was officially launched, RadarOnline.com has learned.
In a surprising development to come after House Republicans voted to authorize an impeachment inquiry into President Biden in December, congressional sources familiar with the investigation claimed that Comer was “fed up” and “done with” the inquiry.
“Comer is hoping Jesus comes so he can get out,” one GOP lawmaker spilled. “He is fed up.”
“Comer is hoping Jesus comes so he can get out,” one GOP lawmaker spilled to CNN on Wednesday. “He is fed up.”
But while Comer was said to be “fed up” with the stalled impeachment inquiry into President Biden, he insisted in a statement to CNN that “the impeachment inquiry is ongoing and impeachment is 100 percent still on the table.”
“I don’t even want to talk to you,” the struggling GOP House Rep. told the outlet when the outlet pressed about the deteriorating Biden inquiry.
“If you don’t think they were influence-peddling, there’s nothing to say,” Comer added. “My God.”

“I feel like this was slow rolled,” Luna lamented this week, “and it’s been very frustrating for me as a new member because I feel like there’s way more that we could have done.”
“It just hasn’t been done in a timely fashion,” she added.

GOP House Rep. Jared Moskowitz and Democratic House Rep. Jamie Raskin recently challenged Comer to introduce an impeachment vote against President Biden. Comer refused.

“It’s April,” Republican Congressman Nick LaLota said regarding the impeachment matter. “There’s an election seven months from now.”
“It would be wise for folks to pump the brakes on the legal accusations being made against the two major-party candidates,” he continued, “and I think we’re close enough to the election to allow the people to decide the future.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy introduced the impeachment inquiry into President Biden shortly before he was ousted from the speakership role in September 2023.
