House Republicans Open Biden Impeachment Inquiry But Lack Evidence of Wrongdoing
-
House Republicans have opened an impeachment inquiry into President Biden related to his son Hunter's business dealings, but have found no clear evidence so far tying the president to any wrongdoing.
-
Republicans are investigating Biden for potential bribery, misconduct, and obstruction offenses related to Hunter Biden's overseas business partners, but need proof tying the president directly to any alleged crimes.
-
Impeachment is ultimately a political process, so the House could technically vote to impeach even without strong legal evidence of "high crimes."
-
Republicans obtained Hunter Biden's financial records showing no evidence President Biden was personally enriched by his son's deals, despite an unverified bribe allegation.
-
House Republicans likely don't yet have the votes to impeach Biden, and the Democratic-controlled Senate would almost certainly acquit him in a trial.
