United States House Speaker orders Impeachment Inquiry into President Biden

Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy has announced that lawmakers will launch an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

Speaker McCarthy while addressing a press conference said the House will advance an investigation concerning allegations that Biden benefited from his son Hunter’s foreign business dealings.

McCarthy also alleged Biden used his official office to coordinate those contacts and received special treatment from his own administration. In his words, “These allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption.

“We have found that President Biden did lie to the American people about his own knowledge of his family’s foreign business dealings. Eyewitnesses have testified that the president joined on multiple phone calls, and had multiple interactions, dinners resulted in cars and millions of dollars that went to his sons and his son’s business partners.

“We know that bank records show that nearly $20 million in payments were directed to the Biden’s family members and associates through various shell companies.”

I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. Over the past several months, House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct—a culture of corruption. https://t.co/3uoDlUB3Sy

However, multiple House committees have yet to find evidence supporting those claims, which has led to a White House spokesman Ian Sams dismissing the impeachment inquiry.
