Republicans Launch Biden Impeachment Report

On Monday, Congressional Republicans made a formal push for President Joe Biden's impeachment, using the start of the Democratic National Convention as a stage for their political attack, though it’s unlikely to gain much momentum.

A report from three influential Republican-led committees in the House of Representatives accuses Biden of corruption related to his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings. Jim Jordan, head of the Judiciary Committee, claimed that the investigation "clearly" showed Biden abused his office for personal gain involving his family and business associates.

However, Republicans have not presented any direct evidence proving Biden used his office to benefit his son or was involved in Hunter's businesses.

The report largely relies on indirect connections and speculation about interactions between father and son, especially during the period when Biden was out of office after serving as vice president.

President Biden, who is set to deliver a key speech at the Democratic convention and hand over the political baton to Vice President Kamala Harris, has consistently denied any involvement in his son’s business activities in Ukraine and China.

Republicans have long tried to use Hunter Biden’s foreign connections and troubled personal life to discredit the president. Yet, their repeated efforts to build an impeachment case against Biden, seen by some as revenge for the two impeachments of former President Donald Trump, have never progressed to a House vote.

With a narrow majority, Republicans face an uphill battle in pushing for impeachment. Even if the House were to vote for it, the Democratic-controlled Senate would likely acquit Biden.

Democrats on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee dismissed the Republican claims, stating that despite a "mountain" of documents, there’s no solid evidence of any wrongdoing by Biden.
