The House is expected to vote Wednesday to formalize an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, as House Republicans intensify the investigation into Biden they opened earlier this year. House Republicans allege that President Biden and his family engaged in an “influence peddling” scheme and took payments from foreign adversaries. The inquiry focuses largely on the president’s son, Hunter Biden, and his foreign business dealings. So far, Republicans have not presented any clear evidence of impeachable offenses by President Biden. Both Hunter Biden and the White House have vehemently denied the allegations. The move is intended, in part, to give the investigating committees greater legal authority to enforce subpoenas, and comes just hours after Hunter Biden failed to appear for a closed-door deposition.
