McCarthy directs House committees to open formal impeachment inquiry into Biden’s alleged involvement with Hunter business dealings

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday that Republicans plan to launch an impeachment inquiry into President Biden’s alleged involvement while vice president in his son Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.

“House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct. Taken together, these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said at the Capitol.

“Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden did lie to the American people about his own knowledge of his family’s foreign business dealings,” the speaker charged.

“Eyewitnesses have testified that the president joined on multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions,” McCarthy said. 

“Dinners resulted in cars and millions of dollars into his sons and his son’s business partners.”
