TL;DR Summary

House Republicans are preparing for a vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry against President Biden, as far-right lawmakers and the party's hardline base push for action. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan outlined the Republican case against Biden, citing possible charges of bribery, abuse of power, and obstruction. Republicans are seeking to gather evidence from witnesses, including Hunter Biden and other officials involved in reviewing his tax filings. The decision to hold a vote comes after GOP leaders faced pushback from moderate Republicans who argued that the case needed to be developed first. The House Speaker believes he will have the votes to approve the inquiry. The Biden administration's response to the investigation has been deemed insufficient by Republicans, who argue that witnesses are not cooperating. The White House spokesperson dismissed the campaign as a baseless smear.
