- Molinaro Says Impeachment Inquiry Has Merit -

Congressman Marc Molinaro says the impeachment inquiry announced by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is reasonable. In a statement to WRFI, Molinaro says he is worried about “criminal activities benefitting the Biden family and undermining our national interests.” In the same statement, he expressed a reluctance to impeach a president saying he campaigned on a pledge to work with Biden and intends to continue to do so. Molinaro does not serve on committees that would participate in the impeachment investigation. He represents the 19th congressional district which includes Ithaca, Binghamton, and part of the Catskills.
