As to the timing of the overall inquiry, Fox is told leaders would like to conclude this before the primary season.
The White House has been bracing for the inquiry and directed reporters to start attacking Republicans over the move, rather than investigating facts presented by lawmakers.
"It’s time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies. When even House Republican members are admitting that there is simply no evidence that Joe Biden did anything wrong, much less impeachable, that should set off alarm bells for news organizations," the White House Counsel's Office sent in a memo to reporters last week.
And while Biden's allies in the media continue to claim there isn't any "direct evidence" President Biden engaged in wrongdoing, after saying there was "no evidence," Republicans investigating the matter are delivering with receipts.
