Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) expressed skepticism on Sunday about the strength of the case at the heart of the House’s impeachment inquiry into President Biden, suggesting that the central narrative is weakening.

Speaking on NBC News’s “Meet The Press,” Graham commented, “If there were a smoking gun, I think we’d be talking about it,” casting doubt on the clarity of the evidence presented so far. Graham highlighted “inconsistencies” in the allegations surrounding Hunter Biden’s business dealings and the extent of President Biden’s knowledge about them. He stated, “But… the narrative that Hunter Biden presented is falling apart. The idea that Joe Biden knew nothing about the business dealings is falling apart.” The senator mentioned that he is currently more focused on the conflict in the Middle East rather than the impeachment process.

Regarding the investigation, Graham noted his limited engagement, saying, “They have to prove that President Biden somehow financially benefited from the business enterprises of Hunter Biden. We’ll see.”

The formalization of the impeachment inquiry came last week with a House vote of 221-212 along party lines. This followed months of GOP-led investigations into allegations of Biden’s involvement in his family’s foreign business dealings, particularly those of his son Hunter Biden. Additionally, there are claims of the Department of Justice delaying a tax crimes probe into Hunter Biden.
