US Senate's Schumer says Biden impeachment inquiry is 'absurd'

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday said the Republican-led impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden is "absurd" and it should not interfere with efforts to avoid a government shutdown.

"The American people want us to do something that will make their lives better, not go off on these chases and witch hunts," Schumer told reporters.
