Overview

• Speaker Mike Johnson plans to call a vote next week to authorize a formal impeachment inquiry against President Biden, predicting unanimous GOP support.
• The impeachment inquiry has been ongoing for months, with Republicans alleging that Biden corruptly profited from his family members' overseas business dealings and accepted bribes.
• Richard Sauber, a special counsel to Biden, has condemned the inquiry, stating that the full House must authorize an impeachment inquiry before a committee can utilize compulsory process pursuant to the impeachment power.
• The Republican investigation has focused heavily on the work that the president's son, Hunter Biden, did for companies and partners in Ukraine, China, and other countries.
• Despite the ongoing investigation, Republicans have yet to deliver compelling evidence to back up their claims.
