House Republicans to Decide on Biden Impeachment Early Next Year
Investigation Focuses on Alleged Involvement in Son's Foreign Business Dealings
- House Republicans, led by Representative Jim Jordan, are conducting an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, focusing on his alleged involvement in his son Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings.
- Subpoenas have been issued for Hunter Biden, James Biden (the president's brother), and other associates, with depositions scheduled for late November and early December.
- The White House has denied any wrongdoing by the president and accused House Republicans of pursuing a partisan political smear campaign.
- House Republicans claim the Biden family has received over $24 million from foreign nationals, including from countries like China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and Kazakhstan, over a five-year period.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson has indicated there is insufficient evidence at the moment to move forward with formal impeachment proceedings, a statement that has received backlash from some Republicans.
