So far, congressional probes have not proven any wrongdoing by President Joe Biden, the House Speaker said.
US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy says Republicans may begin investigating the Biden family's business dealings as part of a possible impeachment inquiry.President Joe Biden
With a slim majority in the House, McCarthy faces demands from Trump allies to elevate their priorities. Trump himself questioned at a Fox News town hall last week why Biden has not yet been impeached.McCarthy has not yet endorsed Trump, who is the GOP's early frontrunner for president, or any other Republican candidates. He denied a report that he is considering House votes to expunge Trump’s two impeachments as another way of showing support.
Republicans in Congress have ramped up investigations of Biden and his son Hunter Biden. House Republicans are digging into the family finances, particularly payments the younger Biden received from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company that became tangled in the first impeachment of Trump. Still, last week, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released the FBI's so-called FD-1023 form — with unverified claims from the informant — providing a full, public look at the allegations.
The Democrats also note that it wasn't just Biden who wanted Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin ousted, but other Western allies were also raising concerns that Shokin was failing to investigate corruption in Ukraine.
Republicans have complained about the administration's slow response to some committee queries. McCarthy said that if the administration "denies us the ability to get the information we’re asking for, that would rise to an impeachment inquiry."
