Republicans energized after special counsel seeks indictment of president’s son by end of September on gun possession charge
The White House has reportedly set up a “war room” of two dozen lawyers and aides to combat the Republican effort, partly by studying how Bill Clinton turned his 1998 impeachment to his political advantage.bought a pistol in 2018 and allegedly lied on a federal form by stating he was not a drug user at the time. In a Wednesday court filing, the special counsel David Weiss said the government would seek a grand jury indictment before 29 September.
The case has become a political lightning rod. Republicans accused the justice department of concocting a “sweetheart deal” and raised the prospect of impeaching the president over unsubstantiated claims that he played a role in his son’s foreign business affairs during his time as vice-president. Goldman, who before running for office was lead counsel in the first impeachment of Donald Trump, added: “Whatever misconduct Hunter Biden may have done is being dealt with by the Department of Justice. But there is no evidence in any way, shape or form that links President Biden to anything that Hunter Biden was doing. And so here we are heading into a so-called impeachment inquiry based on fiction.
The White House is preparing for battle, its “war room” of lawyers, legislative aides, messaging experts and others ready to counter the Republican narrative. Their work includes studying past impeachments to help establish effective strategies.
