Biden faces impeachment over Israel weapons suspension — RT World News
A Republican congressman has filed articles of impeachment against US President Joe Biden for withholding arms shipments to Israel, citing the use of the same language Democrats used to impeach President Donald Trump.
Earlier this week, Biden told CNN this “We will not supply weapons and artillery shells.” If Israel proceeds with its plans to attack the city of Rafah in southern Gaza. Republicans quickly pointed out that Democrats accused Trump of this “Abuse of power” For allegedly withholding military aid approved by Congress in 2019.
“Joe Biden is putting pressure on Israel, our largest ally in the Middle East, by halting its funding, which has already been approved in the House of Representatives, if they do not stop all operations with Hamas.” Rep. Corey Mills of Florida told Fox News on Thursday, adding that this is a very clear case “Something for something” And he intends to impeach Biden because of this.

On Friday, Mills carried out his threat, and the procedure officially began in the US House of Representatives.
“In violation of his oath to faithfully execute the duties of the office of President and uphold the Constitution, President Biden abused the powers of his office by soliciting a ‘quid pro quo’ with Israel while leveraging vital military aid for policy changes.” According to Mills.

He also posted an image on X (formerly Twitter), showing the same language that Rep. Jerry Nadler, a New York Democrat, used to go after Trump five years ago.
The Democrats who controlled the House of Representatives at the time, Impeach Trump In a party vote after being accused of abuse of power. They claimed that Trump threatened to delay an arms shipment to Ukraine unless Kiev investigated the firing of a prosecutor who was looking into a company that employed Biden's son Hunter. Biden had publicly bragged about getting the attorney general fired, but while he was in the running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, the party claimed it amounted to a solicitation. “Interference in elections”
Impeachment went nowhere because the Republican-majority Senate refused to convict Trump in February 2020.
Republicans currently hold a narrow majority in the House of Representatives, which has been largely ineffective in opposing Democratic priorities. Even if Mills is able to convince the House of Representatives to impeach Biden, he will likely be acquitted in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
