House Oversight panel announces witnesses for first Biden impeachment inquiry hearing; GOP's impeachment lacks facts

The House Oversight Committee has announced the witnesses for its first hearing in the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, scheduled for Thursday. The witnesses include a forensic accounting expert, a former assistant attorney general, and a law professor. The hearing will focus on the constitutional and legal questions raised by Republicans regarding the president. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy had previously announced the opening of a formal impeachment inquiry, focusing on allegations of abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption related to Biden's family's overseas business dealings. The panel is also expected to issue subpoenas to Hunter Biden and James Biden, although there is no public evidence to date that the president profited from his son's business deals or allowed them to influence him while in office.
