A federal judge in Albuquerque, New Mexico, has issued a temporary restraining order blocking key parts of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s executive order suspending open and concealed carry across Albuquerque and the surrounding Bernalillo County for at least 30 days.

U.S. District Court Judge David Urias issued the order on Wednesday, blocking the portion of the order that prohibits lawful gun owners from carrying their guns in public for 30 days, ruling that it’s not enforceable.

‘The violation of a constitutional right, even for minimal periods of time, unquestionably constitutes irreparable injury,’ Urias said during the hearing.

The temporary restraining order will remain in effect until at least Oct. 3, when the next hearing is scheduled.

Lujan Grisham on Thursday announced that she needed to respond to recent gun-related deaths, which include an 11-year-old boy who was shot and killed while outside a minor league baseball stadium. Six different lawsuits were filed against the executive order.

Urias was appointed by President Biden.

Lujan Grisham said in a statement on the temporary restraining order, stating that ‘I refuse to be resigned to the status quo.’

‘Today a judge temporarily blocked sections of our public health order but recognized the significant problem of gun violence in this state, particularly involving the deaths of children,’ she wrote. ‘As governor, I see the pain of families who lost their loved ones to gun violence every single day, and I will never stop fighting to prevent other families from enduring these tragedies.’

‘Over the past four days, I’ve seen more attention on resolving the crisis of gun violence than I have in the past four years. Now is the time to bring clarity of purpose: New Mexicans must again feel safe walking home from school, driving to the grocery store, or leaving their hometown baseball stadium,’ Lujan Grisham added. ‘And I call on leaders across the state, from local law enforcement to the Legislature to mayors and county commissioners: Stand with me to enact solutions that save people’s lives. Throwing up our hands is not an option.’ 

The New Mexico governor said that her administration ‘intends to update the public health order with additional measures to address public safety and health shortly. ‘

The suspension of open and concealed carry in the defined area was classified as an emergency public health order.

FIRST ON FOX: GOP Congressman Ralph Norman suggested to reporters on Tuesday night that he is strongly considering running against South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham for his Senate seat.

‘Yeah, I’m tired of Lindsey,’ Norman, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, told Fox News Digital’s Liz Elkind on Tuesday night when asked about running against Graham. 

‘I put out, I’m looking at it,’ Norman continued. ‘In politics today that’s a long time, the 2026 race, but I’m tired of Lindsey. He’s done a good job on good judges, but he should. He’s the one who locked us in on the spending spree.’

‘I’ve said it, it’s not new,’ Norman added.

‘Graham won’t tell him that because I’m going to run against him,’ Norman could be heard saying on the phone to an unknown individual shortly before speaking to reporters. 

Graham’s office declined to comment. 

Norman has represented South Carolina’s 5th Congressional District since 2017 and previously served as a South Carolina State representative. 

Graham has represented South Carolina in the Senate since 2003 and won his last re-election in 2020 by a margin of ten points. 

A Norman campaign would be running to the right of Graham who, despite past support of former President Trump, has faced criticism from GOP voters and was showered with boos at an event supporting Trump in South Carolina in July. 

Norman has been rumored to be considering a run for months and told reporters in July he was ‘not ruling it out.’ 

The New Mexico Senate’s Republican leader is set to file a lawsuit against Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham in an effort to stop her gun carry ban.

New Mexico state Sen. Gregory Baca told Fox News Digital his lawsuit, filed in conjunction with New Mexico House Minority Leader Rep. Ryan Lane, is his response to the governor’s order, cast as a public health measure, barring the concealed and open carriage of firearms in Albuquerque for at least 30 days.

‘We are going to file suit against her this week, most likely today or tomorrow, because of its blatant unconstitutionality,’ Baca told Fox News Digital, referring to the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

Baca, a lawyer, said he didn’t know if the lawsuit would go to the Supreme Court but said he thinks ‘that it actually doesn’t need to go there, because it is so clear that it violates our Constitution… both nationally and at the state level.’

The New Mexico Senate GOP leader said there are six lawsuits already filed against Grisham and that he and his colleagues ‘will be filing at the state court level with the Supreme Court of New Mexico.’

When asked if he believes the public health order will be stopped, Baca said, ‘I do. I think it certainly will be.’

‘There will be injunctive relief granted on probably all of these lawsuits forcing that health order to be rescinded at that time,’ he continued. ‘If that is not the case, she may rescind it on her own just due to pressure from her own party and her own people.’

‘We have a number of high-ranking Democrats now in this state that are in opposition to it because it’s, as I said, it’s unconstitutional on its face, including, from what I understand, six Democratic lawmakers from the House,’ Baca said.

Baca said that, while an impeachment inquiry would have to originate in the state House, should one reach the Senate, the chamber GOP ‘will give it our full attention.’

The Senate Republican leader called out Grisham’s statements claiming that her oath to uphold the Constitution is not ‘absolute.’

‘I believe that because of some of the words that she stated in her press statement, essentially, she said that herself,’ Baca said. ‘She said that she did violate her oath, in which case, I think that, you know, that is just a huge revelation to people.’

‘I’ve always understood that the oath I’ve taken both for the United States military, this office, for the New Mexico State bar, those I take seriously,’ he continued. ‘And I have felt that those should not ever be violated.’

Baca’s lawsuit comes as Grisham faces heavy pushback for her ban on concealed and open carry in Albuquerque.

Grisham is facing widespread outcry from state law enforcement officials following her attempt to ban concealed and open carry permits.

Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen described Grisham’s 30-day ‘public health order’ as ‘unconstitutional’ during a press conference this week despite standing beside the governor during her rollout of the policy.

‘It’s unconstitutional, so there’s no way we can enforce that order,’ the sheriff said Monday in a news conference. ‘This ban does nothing to curb gun violence.’

‘We must always remember not only are we protecting the Second Amendment, but at the same time, we have a lot of violence within our community. Let me be clear, I hold my standards high, and I do not or never will hedge on what is right,’ he said.

Grisham’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

CANBY, Ore. – An Oregon law dubbed the nation’s ‘most extreme’ gun control measure heads to trial next week in a case that has drawn close attention from firearm advocates and opponents.

‘I have never seen this many people so interested in a legal proceeding,’ attorney Tony Aiello Jr. told Fox News.

‘This case is about a bare majority of voters passing a poorly-written ballot measure that erodes, and I would say erases, a constitutional right,’ added Aiello, who is representing a pair of Harney County gun owners challenging Measure 114 under the Oregon Constitution.

Oregonians passed Measure 114 last November with 50.65% of the vote, with voters in just six of the state’s 36 counties supporting it. The law, which groups like the NRA’s legislative arm deem ‘the nation’s most extreme gun control Initiative,’ requires a permit to purchase any gun and bans the sale of magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds.

But the law hasn’t taken effect due to immediate legal challenges at both the federal and state level.

Federal Judge Karin Immergut ruled in July that Oregon’s law is in line with a U.S. tradition of ‘regulating uniquely dangerous features of weapons and firearms to protect public safety.’ Plaintiffs are appealing Immergut’s ruling to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Aiello, meanwhile, will go to court on Monday for Harney County gun owners Joseph Arnold and Cliff Asmussen, arguing that Measure 114 doesn’t pass muster under the Oregon Constitution because it would operate as an outright ban.

LAWYER: OREGON GUN CONTROL MEASURE ‘ERASES’ CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS:

The interfaith group Lift Every Voice Oregon crafted the measure and collected more than 130,000 signatures to place it on the ballot last fall. The group argues a permit-to-purchase system will reduce homicides, suicides and other shootings.

‘When our neighbors are bleeding, we cannot stand idly by,’ Rev. Mark Knutson, one of the chief petitioners for the measure, previously told The Oregonian. ‘We had an imperative to act.’

Representatives of Lift Every Voice Oregon did not respond to emails requesting an interview.

Gun sales surged after the measure passed late last year, with Oregon State Police fielding thousands of new background check requests each day.

Salem pawn shop owner Bryan Fitzgerald told Fox News he had trouble keeping guns on the shelves for a while. Firearms previously made up about 30% of his business at Elite Buyers NW but now account for 50-60% of sales, he estimates.

‘Ballot Measure 114 really made everything just absolutely crazy,’ he said.

Fitzgerald is closely watching the measure’s legal battles, though he admits he’s in a better position than many firearm dealers since his pawn shop has a diverse inventory ranging from jewelry and electronics to musical instruments and tools.

‘If we were just a gun shop, I would be really, really scared,’ he said. ‘I wish the people that were making laws about firearms weren’t anti-firearm.’

Much of the criticism of the measure centers around the permit system. Measure 114 requires that prospective gun buyers complete ‘in-person demonstration of the applicant’s ability to lock, load, unload, fire and store a firearm before an instructor certified by a law enforcement agency’ — a much stricter process than what is currently required to obtain even a concealed handgun license in Oregon.

Police and sheriffs said in December there were no training programs in the state that satisfy all the permit requirements. While Oregon State Police did not respond to questions about whether such programs have been launched since then, Fitzgerald said he keeps in regular contact with law enforcement who have told him nothing has changed.

But Aiello won’t be able to mention that in court.

Circuit Judge Robert S. Raschio granted the state’s motion to exclude allegations that police would not be able to quickly process permits if Measure 114 is allowed to take effect because it would be pure speculation. The state further argued the measure ‘provides a clear, speedy remedy’ if Oregonians encounter a delay or denial of their permits. Those whose permit applications are denied or not processed within 30 days can petition their local circuit court, according to the ballot measure text.

‘I’m just not going to guess what the program is going to look like,’ Raschio said, according to The Oregonian. ‘I find it persuasive that the case law says that you can’t speculate how a law is going to be applied,’ he added, ‘and this law has never been applied to anyone.’

But Raschio also dealt a win to the gun owners, approving their motions to prohibit testimony on the success of other states’ permit-to-purchase programs in reducing shootings, the destructiveness of high-capacity magazines or victim testimony on the loss of loved ones from shootings.

The trial is expected to last through next Friday. Regardless of the outcome, Aiello said he thinks all sides in the debate expect the case to eventually reach the Oregon Supreme Court.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., said Tuesday that she would like to see ‘a very deep dive’ into House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into President Biden ‘no matter how long it takes.’

Greene’s comments come as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., announced that he is directing an impeachment inquiry against Biden. The Georgia congresswoman said following McCarthy’s announcement that the inquiry ‘may take months and months.’

‘It may go all the way to the November election. But what we need to do is we need to investigate Joe Biden,’ Greene told reporters, according to Fox 5 Atlanta. ‘But we also need to investigate the web of people that exist in our federal agencies, the FBI, the DOJ, the CIA, and many others, serving not only in this administration, the former administration and the one before it, maybe even further, we need to find the people that have covered up Joe Biden’s crimes and all of the Biden family’s corruption.’

Greene said removing corruption from the federal government is most important to her and that the inquiry is a good way to start. She claimed the move is not politically motivated, saying that Americans are struggling under the Biden administration ‘with a wide open border and invasion of illegal immigrants’ and inflation.

‘They can’t afford their electric bills, they can’t afford their gas bills,’ she said. They can’t afford groceries. That’s what the American people know. And they know that politicians like Joe Biden, who’s been in this place in office for over 50 years have gotten richer and richer and richer every year. They’re in office, and they know why. And I’m really excited. We’re doing this impeachment inquiry, because I believe we’re going to expose the truth.’

The impeachment inquiry comes as McCarthy was facing heightened pressure from Greene and other GOP lawmakers, as well as former President Trump to investigate the sitting president.

McCarthy said in a statement Tuesday that the House’s probes this year into the Biden family’s foreign business dealings have revealed a ‘culture of corruption’ that requires further investigation.

‘These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption,’ McCarthy said.

The Speaker said he will direct the chairmen of the House Judiciary, Oversight and Ways and Means committees to lead the impeachment inquiry into Biden. The committees have been working together for months on investigations into the Biden family.

The White House described the inquiry as ‘extreme politics at its worst.’

‘House Republicans have been investigating the President for 9 months, and they’ve turned up no evidence of wrongdoing,’ White House spokesperson Ian Sams said in a statement. ‘His own Republican members have said so.’

Then-Vice President Joe Biden slammed President Obama as having ‘no grace’ after Hunter Biden suggested the president plagiarized his father’s speeches, according to 2010 emails from Hunter’s laptop.

On Sept. 7, 2010, one day after Obama gave a pro-union speech at Laborfest in Milwaukee, Hunter quoted the president in an email to his dad’s personal account, auks@att.blackberry.net.

‘Interesting language from the President: ‘They (his grandparent) would tell me about seeing their fathers or uncles losing their jobs…how it wasn’t just a loss of a paycheck that stung. It was the blow to their dignity, their sense of self worth,’’ Hunter wrote. 

‘Wonder where he got that from?’ Hunter asked. ‘Im surprised he didn’t finish with the long walk up a short flight of stairs. Pretty amazing.’

‘No grace,’ Biden responded to his son.

Hunter was apparently suggesting Obama ripped off language from Biden’s 2008 campaign speeches, when the then-senator repeatedly talked about the effect losing a job can have on a family.

‘That’s how you come to believe, to the very core of your being, that work is more than a paycheck,’ Biden said in his August 2008 speech accepting the Democratic vice-presidential nomination. ‘It’s dignity. It’s respect.’

Biden later talked about the ‘long walk’ during a November 2008 speech in Missouri.

‘You know, when a job is lost or a house is foreclosed on, it’s not just an economic loss, it’s emotionally devastating for a family,’ he said at the time. ‘It’s about a parent having to make that long walk up a short flight of stairs, like my dad did when I was 10 years old, and walk into the child’s bedroom and say, honey, I’m sorry — I’m sorry but Daddy lost his job or Mommy lost her job.’

Biden’s bristling at Obama’s speech is particularly noteworthy because his first failed presidential campaign in 1988 collapsed under the weight of plagiarism allegations. He also plagiarized a paper during his first year at Syracuse University College of Law by using ‘five pages of a published law review article without quotation or citation,’ according to the dean.

Biden’s personal email address, auks@att.blackberry.net, is one of many used by the then-vice president to communicate with family, and it appears in multiple email exchanges on Hunter’s abandoned laptop, Marco Polo first revealed in its extensive report last year.

The Auks are the mascot of Archmere Academy, where Biden and his son attended high school.

Fox News Digital reported Monday that Casey Owens, who is Biden’s niece and Hunter’s cousin, was serving as a special assistant for the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue at the U.S. Treasury Department when she emailed the ‘auks’ account on May 10, 2011 to praise Biden for his remarks to the opening session of the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue.

‘Uncle Joe,’ Owens wrote. ‘Just got home from work and couldn’t wait to send you an email. Today was truly a memorable day for me.’

The ‘auks’ account later forwarded Owens’ email to Hunter, Biden’s since-deceased son Beau, and Biden’s sister Valerie.

Another email from the ‘auks’ account to Hunter was signed ‘Love Dad’ on June 14, 2011.

‘Don’t be angry but I stole her for dinner and the night I’ll get her to work on time Call me Love Dad,’ Biden wrote, referring to Hunter’s eldest daughter, Naomi.

The White House, Obama’s office and Hunter’s lawyer did not respond to Fox News’ requests for comment.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., said House Republicans must ‘not waste time’ and deliver an ‘ironclad’ case to impeach President Biden for the effort to succeed in the Senate. 

Tuberville on Tuesday joined a growing chorus of Republican senators who are skeptical of the House GOP impeachment inquiry. He said the Senate ‘couldn’t get the votes’ to convict Biden in an impeachment trial but hoped the House at least would get to the truth concerning the abuse of power and corruption allegations made against the president.

‘You don’t bring a vote to the floor unless you are pretty sure that you can get the amount of votes that you need,’ Tuberville said on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press NOW.’ ‘I know that wouldn’t make it to anywhere over here in the Senate. That probably wouldn’t even — wouldn’t even let it make it to the floor. But again, this is all up to the House. We got enough problems going on right now.’

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday said House Republicans have ‘uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct’ that will serve as the basis of an impeachment inquiry. 

‘Today, I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe,’ McCarthy announced in a statement at the Capitol. ‘This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the American public.’ 

The allegations against Biden concern the president’s role in his son Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings and whether the Biden family used Joe Biden’s public office for personal profit. The speaker said House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., will lead the inquiry in coordination with House Oversight Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo. 

‘House Republicans have been investigating the President for 9 months, and they’ve turned up no evidence of wrongdoing,’ a White House spokesman said in a statement. ‘His own GOP members have said so. He vowed to hold a vote to open impeachment, now he flip-flopped because he doesn’t have support. Extreme politics at its worst.’ 

As House Republicans move forward with impeachment, several Republican senators have expressed doubts about the effort. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., said last week she does not believe there is enough evidence to impeach Biden. Sens. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., similarly questioned whether their House counterparts have alleged high crimes or misdemeanors against Biden specifically, Axios reported.

Tubervilel said the impeachment case against Biden must be ‘ironclad.’

‘I’m not for impeachment unless it is ironclad,’ he said. ‘As I said about President Trump, if you’re gonna come after a former president or president, let’s not waste time. Let’s know the truth. Let’s be able to bring it out. Let the American people know.’

‘We got enough problems up here right now without going through an impeachment process, but they’ll do the right thing,’ he added, referring to the House. ‘Hopefully we just find out what’s going on and, and American people get the truth.’

Former New York City Department of Buildings Commissioner Eric Ulrich is expected to turn himself in on Wednesday on sealed charges brought in connection to a yearlong probe by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office reportedly linked to several campaign donors for Mayor Eric Adams. 

The charges against Ulrich do not implicate Adams or the mayor’s campaign, sources told Politico. Ulrich’s defense attorney Sam Braverman told the New York Daily News he expects Ulrich to surrender at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse sometime Wednesday morning and appear before Judge Daniel Conviser at 2:15 p.m.

‘I truly and honestly have no inside information as to what the charges are. Anybody who says they know are lying unless they are the DA or a grand juror. If I know what the charges are, I would comment,’ Braverman told Politico on Tuesday, adding that ‘it would be rank speculation’ to comment before Ulrich turns himself in. 

Ulrich was charged through a sealed indictment over the summer, the New York Times first reported. 

The indictment reportedly names at least four other individuals in connection to the same investigation, including brothers Joseph and Anthony Livreri, who own two Queens pizza shops and co-hosted an August 2021 fundraiser for Adams’ mayoral campaign, according to Politico. 

News outlet The City first reported that the indictment also names Mark Caller, a real estate developer and another mayoral campaign donor for Adams who hosted a separate, lucrative August 2021 fundraiser for the mayor’s campaign. 

In a separate case, Bragg’s office announced in July that six of Adams’ former campaign donors, including NYPD retired deputy inspector Dwayne Montgomery, were charged in an alleged straw donor scheme to direct tens of thousands of dollars in illicit contributions to the mayor’s campaign. 

Bragg is scheduled to hold a press conference Wednesday afternoon with New York City Department of Investigation Commissioner Jocelyn Strauber in connection to Ulrich’s case, the Daily News reported. 

Ulrich resigned as the buildings commissioner last November after Bragg’s office seized his phone. He previously served on New York City Council as a Republican before switching to the Democrat Party to support Adams’ mayoral run. 

The White House and officials in President Biden’s administration are claiming that Bidenomics is working despite a decrease in household income and an increase in the poverty rate.

Data released by the United States Census Bureau on Tuesday revealed that the real median household income fell from $76,330 in 2021 to $74,580 in 2022, a drop of 2.3%. While the official poverty rate remained statistically unchanged from 2021 to 2022, the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) rate, which measures the participation in government programs increased to 12.4% in 2022, up 4.6% in 2021. 

The Supplemental Poverty Measure child poverty rate more than doubled to 12.4% in 2022 from 5.2% in 2021, the data shows.

During an early August interview with CNN, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Bidenomics is ‘working’ when people look at the data.

‘Costs is going down,’ she said. ‘When you think about inflation. When you think about wages going up. That is Bidenomics.’

When reached for comment, a White House spokesperson referred Fox News Digital to a statement from Biden on the new census data, which attempts to blame Republicans for the rise in poverty.

‘Today’s Census report shows the dire consequences of congressional Republicans’ refusal to extend the enhanced Child Tax Credit, even as they advance costly corporate tax cuts. We cut child poverty by nearly half to record lows for all children in this nation largely by expanding the Child Tax Credit. Last year, Congressional Republicans insisted on raising taxes on families with children,’ Biden said. ‘The rise reported today in child poverty is no accident—it is the result of a deliberate policy choice congressional Republicans made to block help for families with children while advancing massive tax cuts for the wealthiest and largest corporations. No child should grow up in poverty, and I will continue to fight to restore the expanded Child Tax Credit to give tens of millions of families the tax relief and breathing room they deserve.’

Inflation ticked higher in July as the consumer price index rose 0.2% in July from June, according to data from the Labor Department. The figure was slightly below the 3.3% forecast from Refinitiv economists.

An August Fox News poll found that 52% of Americans feel that Biden has made the economy worse while 25% believe he has made it better.

When confronted with negative polling on Americans’ view of Bidenomics, Jean-Pierre told the CNN host that polls ‘don’t show everything.’

She said the current state of the economy is reflective of damage caused by the pandemic.

‘Americans are coming out of a pandemic. We are dealing with a lot when you think about the economy. But here’s the thing, this is a president who has spent the last two years turning the economy around,’ she said.

First-term Pennsylvania Democrat Senator John Fetterman gave an odd, animated reaction to the news of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., announcing an impeachment inquiry into President Biden.

Fetterman stopped to talk with reporter Liz Brown-Kaiser in the underbelly of the Senate and was asked about the news of McCarthy’s Tuesday announcement.

The Pennsylvania Democrat responded to the question in an animated fashion — as his staffer tried to get him to move along.

‘Oh my God, really?’ Fetterman said, backing up from the news and grabbing his head. ‘Oh my gosh.’

‘You know, it’s devastating,’ the Pennsylvania Democrat continued before laughing and putting his hands down.

‘Ooooohhhh,’ Fetterman said, wiggling his fingers from outstretched hands. ‘Don’t do it!’

Fetterman said ‘please don’t do it’ and ‘oh no, oh no’ as he lumbered down the hall away from reporters, waving his hands.

Fox News Digital reached out to Fetterman’s office for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Fetterman’s reaction comes after McCarthy announced on Tuesday a formal impeachment proceeding against Biden.

McCarthy on Tuesday said House Republicans have ‘uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct’ that will serve as the basis of an impeachment inquiry.

‘Today, I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe,’ McCarthy announced in a statement at the Capitol Tuesday. ‘This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the American public.’

The speaker said House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., will lead the inquiry in coordination with House Oversight Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo.

McCarthy spoke for only roughly three minutes and did not take questions from reporters. He made no mention of holding a floor vote before opening the impeachment inquiry, despite telling Breitbart earlier this month it would happen ‘through a vote on the floor of the People’s House and not through a declaration by one person.’

He listed allegations of ‘abuse of power, obstruction and corruption’ made against Biden by several GOP-led committees who have been investigating the president. 

‘Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden did lie to the American people about his own knowledge of his family’s foreign business dealings. Eyewitnesses have testified that the president joined on multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions, dinners resulted in cars and millions of dollars into his sons and his son’s business partners,’ McCarthy said.

‘We know that bank records show that nearly $20 million in payments were directed to the Biden family members and associates through various Shell companies. The Treasury Department alone has more than 150 transactions involving the Biden family. Another business associates that were flagged as suspicious activity by U.S. banks. Even a trusted FBI informant has alleged a bribe to the Biden family. Biden used his official office to coordinate with Hunter Biden’s business partners about Hunter’s role in Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company,’ he continued. 

He concluded, ‘Finally, despite these serious allegations, it appears that the president’s family has been offered special treatment by Biden’s own administration. Treatment that not otherwise would have received if they were not related to the president. These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption, and they want further investigation by the House of Representatives.’
