The United States House of Representatives, led by the Republican minority, is set to initiate a formal investigation against President Joe Biden for alleged abuse of power, obstruction of justice, and misconduct. This announcement was made yesterday by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
The investigation will focus on claims of misconduct and misuse of authority by President Biden. Republican lawmakers took control of the House of Representatives in January, and since then, they have been conducting inquiries into various aspects of Biden’s presidency. However, no concrete evidence of wrongdoing related to his administration has been found thus far.
Concerns have also been raised by Republicans regarding the business dealings of Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. They view these dealings as suspicious and are scrutinizing any potential connections between Hunter Biden’s business activities and the President’s knowledge or involvement.
Yesterday’s brief statement by McCarthy highlighted growing skepticism within the Republican-controlled House of Representatives regarding President Biden’s actions. The Speaker stated that Republicans have been investigating President Biden for nine months but have not found any substantial evidence of misconduct.
What is unfolding now is being described by the White House as the most severe political backlash against President Biden’s presidency to date.
Hunter Biden is currently under federal investigation for possible criminal activity related to his foreign business dealings. The White House has vehemently denied any wrongdoing associated with Hunter Biden’s business activities and has rejected claims of any collusion with the President.
