House Speaker Johnson to Call Vote on Biden Impeachment Inquiry
Johnson cites 'necessary step' due to alleged White House stonewalling, believes Republicans have the votes to launch inquiry.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to hold a formal vote on the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, calling it a 'necessary step' due to the White House's alleged stonewalling of investigations.
- The vote is expected to take place before the House breaks for December recess.
- Republicans allege that Biden and his family accepted money from foreign interests in suspicious business deals, but no evidence implicating the president has been presented so far.
- The Biden administration has dismissed the impeachment inquiry as illegitimate since it has not yet been formalized by a House vote.
- Johnson believes that Republicans have the votes to launch the impeachment inquiry, although no Democrats are expected to support the effort.
