"House Votes to Formalize GOP Impeachment Inquiry into Biden Amid White House 'Impasse'"

House Republicans are expected to vote to formalize their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, in an effort to gain better legal standing to enforce their subpoenas. The vote comes as Republicans had hoped to depose Hunter Biden, the president's son, who appeared at a news conference outside the Capitol instead. The inquiry vote is expected to be tight, with Republicans expressing confidence they will have enough support. Moderate Republicans say they will vote to authorize the inquiry to obtain the information needed for their investigation, while Democrats dismiss the inquiry as based on "distortions, concoctions, and outright lies."
