The former congressman also criticized President Biden for denying knowledge on Hunter Biden&#8217;s business deal, calling it a &#8220;total lie.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JASON CHAFFETZ: That&#8217;s a total fabrication \u2013 what the White House has said every single step of the way has been a complete and total lie. And you know what? Congress needs to get some guts. They need to get organized. I want to see Mitch McConnell standing there with Speaker McCarthy unified and get all Republicans. Why do they just leave it off to the side for a handful of Republicans to express frustration? I don&#8217;t want to see a single other thing from this speaker and the minority leader until they actually unify and take a position and demand that these things happen. When that happens, things happen in Washington, D.C. But right now, nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Republicans immediately began lashing out at President Biden Thursday following the release of an unclassified FBI document detailing his alleged involvement in an international bribery scheme, with a number rallying for his impeachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sen.

Impeach!&#8221; Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., wrote on Twitter, while Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., wrote, &#8220;Read and understand just how deep the corruption goes. Biden should be thrown out of office. Impeach!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former Arizona gubernatorial candidate and conservative firebrand Kari Lake suggested the president was guilty of &#8220;extortion&#8221; and &#8220;treason&#8221; in addition to bribery, and claimed former President Donald Trump was impeached for Biden&#8217;s &#8220;crimes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/congress-needs-get-some-guts-jason-chaffetz-unifying-gop-against-bidens\">foxnews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz told &#8220;America Reports&#8221; Friday that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., need to &#8220;get organized.&#8221; Chaffetz said more Republicans need to &#8220;unify&#8221; and take a position on the Hunter Biden investigation and whether to impeach President Biden over it.
