House Republicans Open Impeachment Inquiry Into President Biden

House Republicans have opened an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, accusing him of lying about his family members' business dealings and condoning their trading on the Biden name124. The inquiry was initiated by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who directed Republican-led House committees to launch the inquiry25. The allegations, "taken together, paint a picture of a culture of corruption," McCarthy said2. The impeachment inquiry comes as a government shutdown looms, and tensions are high between the House and Senate1345.

This is the third formal attempt by Congress to remove a president in the past four years4. The previous two attempts were against former President Trump4. The impeachment inquiry has sparked controversy and has led to calls for greater transparency and accountability in government14.
