House Republicans Formalize Biden Impeachment Inquiry

House Republicans have voted to formally authorize an impeachment inquiry against President Biden, despite lacking evidence to support their claims that Biden financially benefited from his son's foreign investment deals. The vote, which had near-unanimous support among Republicans, comes after Hunter Biden defied a congressional subpoena in the probe. No Democrats voted in support of the measure. Democrats criticized the GOP's investigation as a conspiracy-fueled fishing expedition, while Republicans accused the administration of obstructing their investigation. The foundation of the impeachment inquiry rests on an unsubstantiated allegation that Joe Biden pushed for the firing of Ukraine's top prosecutor to quash a probe into the Ukrainian gas company where Hunter Biden sat on the board. Biden ridiculed the vote as a "baseless House Republican impeachment stunt."
