United States: The US Republican House Speaker, Mr. Kevin McCarthy, has approved the formal impeachment investigation into US President Mr. Joe Biden.
The allegation explains that the Democratic President reportedly lied to the citizen about his son’s foreign business dealings.
“I am directing our House committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden,” Mr. McCarthy said.
“House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations about President Biden’s conduct. Taken together, these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption.” Mr. McCarthy told reporters.
Mr. Hunter Biden has been a regular target for Republicans in his business dealings in Ukraine and China since his father was vice president under Barack Obama.
Mr. Hunter is currently under investigation by a Justice Department special counsel for possible tax evasion. The President’s son is anticipated to be charged by the end of this month with a firearms violation.
“House Republicans have been investigating the President for 9 months, and they’ve turned up no evidence of wrongdoing,” Mr. Ian Sams, White House spokesman for oversight and investigations, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
McCarthy has been under pressure from the right wing of the party, loyal to Mr. Donald Trump, for months to open an impeachment inquiry into the 80-year-old Mr. Biden, as per the statement.
The White House responded immediately, condemning it as “extreme politics at its worst.”
