Former President Donald Trump plans to draw a distinction between President Joe Biden’s numerical age and the question of his fitness for highest office in a new interview set to air Thursday.

“Age is interesting, because some people are very sharp, and some people do lose it . . . But no, he’s not too old at all. He’s grossly incompetent,” Trump said on SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show.” “

You look at some of the great world leaders. They were in their 80s and they did, I mean, [British Prime Minister Sir Winston] Churchill, so many people, they were phenomenal in their 80s.” Read Full Story

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he will seek to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden based on the House GOP’s investigations of his family’s foreign business dealings and the prosecution of his son Hunter Biden.

“Today, I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden,” McCarthy said in a brief statement at the Capitol on Tuesday.

McCarthy said the probe will be led by House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., in coordination with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., who have been leading the investigations.

“I do not make this decision lightly. And regardless of your party, or who you voted for, these facts should concern all Americans,” McCarthy said. Read Full Story

“I don’t think it’s been particularly helpful to have the Senate doctor describing it as dehydration, which I think even a non-physician, seeing that, probably aren’t really accepting that explanation,” Paul said. 

“I think it’d be better to be forthcoming about what’s going on with health problems.”

McConnell on Wednesday dismissed concerns about his health, vowing he would “finish my term as leader and I will finish my Senate term”… Read Full Story
