House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has decided to initiate an impeachment investigation against U.S. President Joe Biden.
McCarthy will announce his support for bringing impeachment proceedings this week, according to Punchbowl News. To date, no investigations by the House GOP members have found evidence that the president profited from his son Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings.
Despite this, McCarthy claims that enough evidence has been uncovered to gain access to the Bidens’ bank accounts.
McCarthy’s decision will greatly affect September, a difficult month for Republicans in the House of Representatives, Punchbowl News says.
“The federal government will run out of money in 18 days, and the Capitol is consumed with how lawmakers will avert a shutdown. McCarthy wants to squeeze through the $886-billion Defence bill that’s scheduled for a House vote this week.”
However, McCarthy may not get enough support in the caucus to impeach Biden. Some representatives of wavering districts will not agree to impeach the President until they are presented with concrete evidence of wrongdoing.
