U.S. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy announced
Tuesday lawmakers will launch an impeachment
inquiry into President Joe Biden, advancing an
investigation concerning allegations Biden benefited
from his son Hunter’s foreign business dealings.
“These allegations paint a picture of a culture of
corruption,” McCarthy told reporters.
“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,” McCarthy said
during a press briefing. “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.”
McCarthy also alleged Biden used his official office to
coordinate those contacts and received special
treatment from his own administration.
Multiple House committees have yet to find evidence
supporting those claims.
White House spokesperson Ian Sams tweeted, “House
Republicans have been investigating the president for
9 months, and they’ve turned up no evidence of
wrongdoing. His own GOP members have said so. He
vowed to hold a vote to open impeachment, now he
flip flopped because he doesn’t have support. Extreme
politics at its worst.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer last week
called the inquiry absurd.
Republicans hold a very slim majority in the U.S.
House of Representatives, with just a five-seat
majority over Democrats. But some Republicans have
expressed concern about pursuing an impeachment
inquiry heading into the 2024 election year.
Republican Representative Ken Buck, a member of the
conservative House Freedom Caucus and a member of
the House Judiciary Committee, told NBC News on
Sunday, “The time for impeachment is the time when
there’s evidence linking President Biden — if there’s
evidence linking President Biden — to a high crime or
misdemeanor. That doesn’t exist right now.”

The announcement of the inquiry also sets up a
showdown between Capitol Hill and the White House,
as lawmakers must strike a deal with Biden to keep
the government open past a September 30th funding
deadline. The Republican-majority House has just a
handful of working days in session to pass a short-
term resolution (or CR, continuing resolution) or risk a
government shutdown.
If there is a government shutdown, House committees
would be unable to work on an impeachment inquiry.
McCarthy has proposed the CR to conservatives both
as a way to keep an impeachment inquiry alive and to
buy time to negotiate government spending levels
more closely aligned with conservative priorities.
The House speaker has faced increasing pressure from
conservative members of his caucus this summer,
after agreeing to a deal with the president to raise the
debt ceiling to avoid a U.S. default.
“It's also possible that those impeachment articles
may never reach the Senate,” Michael Thorning,
director of structural democracy at the Bipartisan
Policy Center told VOA. “With a slim majority, it's not
clear that Republicans can get it across the finish line,
they certainly cannot count on any support from
Democrats. And so, they really have to hold together
every one of their members. And if they lose just five
of them, they won't be able to pass it.”
Even if the U.S. House passes articles of impeachment,
the Democratic-majority U.S. Senate is highly unlikely
to take them up to hold a trial.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in July,
“Impeachment ought to be rare, rather than common.
And so, I’m not surprised that having been treated the
way they were, House Republicans last Congress,
begin to open up the possibility of doing it again. And
I think this is not good for the country, to have
repeated impeachment problems.”
