The House is set to vote on formally authorizing an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, focusing on his family’s business dealings. Despite raising ethical questions, the investigation hasn’t found evidence of Biden’s misconduct. House Speaker Mike Johnson calls this vote “the next necessary step,” amid frustrations about the inquiry’s slow progress.
The White House labels the inquiry a “baseless fishing expedition,” with Biden denying involvement in his family’s business. The inquiry explores whether Biden benefited from or influenced policy related to his son Hunter’s foreign business dealings and allegations of the Justice Department’s slow response to Hunter’s tax crimes investigation.
Some Republicans express hesitance, fearing political costs, but GOP leaders clarify that supporting the inquiry isn’t synonymous with backing impeachment. They argue the inquiry offers legal leverage for information requests from the White House.
Democrats suggest the inquiry vote foreshadows imminent impeachment proceedings. This investigation extends into 2024, potentially affecting Biden’s reelection bid and a possible face-off against former President Donald Trump.
