    Representative Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican, told NBC News’ Kristen Welker on Sunday that according to lawyers hired by Congress, “at this point, there’s not a specific crime that’s been committed” by President Joe Biden in the impeachment probe against him.

    The White House has repeatedly denied these claims, with President Biden saying that the impeachment inquiry against him is a “baseless political stunt.”

    Bacon told Welker on Meet the Press: “When I talked to the lawyers on the committee staff, they say at this point there’s not a specific crime that’s been committed.”

    "Why continue to waste millions of dollars of the taxpayers’ money if we’re going to impeach because you believe you’ve shown he’s committed a high crime or misdemeanor.

    Meanwhile, White House spokesperson Ian Sams called the invitation for the president to testify a “sad stunt at the end of a dead impeachment.”

    Meanwhile, Biden, the Democratic incumbent, is leading a reelection campaign against former President Donald Trump, who is the presumed 2024 Republican Presidential nominee.
