Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is advising House Republican leaders to open their focus on President Joe Biden to broader suspected Democratic corruption, including the Clinton Foundation.
In a memo to the party, Gingrich said that when all the potential scandals Washington is facing are added up, the crisis facing the nation is on par with the Civil War and, as a result, should be approached with a wider look.

“We are faced with the most consequential decisions since President Abraham Lincoln and the Congress worked together to save the Union and government of the people, by the people, and for the people,” said the former speaker, historian, and author who continues to hold sway in the party.
“Far more than the personal corruption of the Biden family’s criminal behavior, we are faced with a culture and system of law-breaking and corrupting the bureaucracies — especially in the intelligence community and the Justice Department — but also in the Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies which have been led to replace the law with their own political ideology,” he said in the memo posted on his Gingrich 360 website.
Besides the impeachment hearings and investigation into first son Hunter Biden’s alleged efforts to sell access to his father when he was former President Barack Obama’s vice president, Gingrich said other examples of Democratic corruption have to be probed.
Among them, the Clinton Foundation, he said, explaining, “Hillary Clinton‘s corruption as Secretary of State and the scale of money she collected for the Clinton Foundation dwarfs anything the Bidens have done.”

He also urged greater investigation into the weaponization of federal agencies against critics of the government and Democrats.
“House Republicans must dedicate themselves to digging out the truth and sharing it with the American people wherever it leads and to whatever elements of government and power it threatens,” Gingrich said.
