After much anticipation, Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has decided to formally open an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden.
This move is an obvious act of desperation as Republicans have no concrete evidence to show Joe Biden was directly involvement in his son’s business dealings.
At best, the evidence is circumstantial and does not prove Biden’s involvement in “high crimes” that warrants impeachment.
Biden is accused of abusing his position and power. The impeachment accuses him of committing numerous high crimes by running an international bribery scheme with his son Hunter.
Subpoenaed bank records show that at least nine Biden family members received at least 30 million in unexplained wire transfers from foreign businesses. Even to of Biden’s grandchildren were among the recipients.
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

“I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden,” McCarthy said.
“Over the past several months, House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct — a culture of corruption.”
McCarthy has previously said a formal impeachment inquiry is the “logical next step.”
“It only raises more and more questions, and we’re gonna have to find the answers,” McCarthy said.
“And this is all information that just has been coming forward that we’ve been able to find out. But the other information is we find that the Biden family delays everything. It benefits them to delay the information. The American public deserves to know.”
“Hiding behind impeachment to screw America with status quo massive funding … will not end well,” Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas said.
“You’re not going to trade one for the other with me, and I think a lot of members feel that way,” Republican Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania said.
“We’re asking for a very modest change in the status quo,” Perry said. “And, oh, by the way, it’s one that the speaker agreed to in January.”
