BREAKING: Biden reacts to House impeachment inquiry by blaming border crisis, other issues on Republicans

Moments after the House of Representatives voted to pass a resolution formalizing the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, he released his response.

The president called the inquiry "baseless," and rather than addressing Republicans' concerns about his actions, accused them of preventing his administration from taking action to solve the crisis at the southern border, in addition to failing to deliver for the nations of Ukraine and Israel. Biden also charged that the Republicans are driving the US towards a government shutdown.

"The American people need their leaders in Congress to take action on important priorities for the nation and world," Biden began.
