United States Republican House of Representatives Speaker, Kevin McCarthy set to launch an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, in a bid to remove the Democratic president, following two impeachments of former President Donald Trump.
McCarthy’s move sets the stage for months of divisive House hearings that could distract from congressional efforts to avoid a government shutdown and could supercharge the 2024 presidential race in which Trump hopes to avenge his 2020 election loss to Biden and win back the White House.
White House spokesperson, Ian Sams said Republicans had turned up no evidence of wrong doing.
Republicans, who now narrowly control the House, had accused Biden of profiting, while he served as vice president from 2009 to 2017 from his son Hunter Biden’s foreign business ventures, though they had not presented substantiation.
