According to McCarthy, the investigation will focus on “allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption” against the US president.
The House speaker said there were “serious and verifiable” allegations regarding the president’s conduct.
“Together these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption“, he added.
This is the first step in a political process that could lead to a House vote on Biden’s impeachment. If it is approved by a simple majority, it could proceed to the Senate.
Republicans have been investigating the president since they won control of the House of Representatives in January. While the hearings found no concrete evidence of misconduct Biden.
However, House Republicans said that will focus their investigation on probable criminal activity Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, as part of his overseas business dealings.
Hunter Biden is currently under federal investigation for possible tax crimes related to his overseas business interests.
Impeachment of US Presidents
Let us remember that in 2021, the US Congress already introduced a proposal to impeach Biden, but then the matter ended in nothing.
In addition, former US President Donald Trump was impeached. During the voting, 232 legislators supported it, 197 were against.
Scandals with Biden’s son
Earlier, media reports suggested that Hunter Biden may have told a sex worker that Russian “drug traffickers” stole another of his laptops in Las Vegas in 2018. They did this for the purpose of blackmail.
Also, the American newspaper New York Post stated that it had gained access to correspondence between Hunter Biden and an employee of the Ukrainian company Burisma, Vadim Pozharsky. In one of the letters, Pozharsky thanks Hunter Biden for the meeting with the then US Vice President.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden said that his son Hunter, suspected of tax violations, had not committed any illegal actions.
