House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., announced Tuesday that Republicans in the lower chamber are launching an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

The inquiry comes as Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., have long alleged that Biden was improperly involved in his family’s business dealings. GOP lawmakers have particularly targeted the work of Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.

The White House immediately dismissed the inquiry, with special assistant to the president Ian Sams calling the move “extreme politics at its worst.” Meanwhile, moderate Republicans have held mixed views on whether an inquiry is the right path forward before their colleagues have laid out more evidence against the president.

  1. “This is not about political revenge! We have the actual bank accounts!” Perry said. “You can see that the homes that the Bidens own can’t be afforded on a congressional or Senate salary. You also understand that it’s not normal for family members to receive millions of dollars from overseas interests. Those things aren’t normal. That’s not normal to have 20 shell companies. These things are not normal and it alludes to not only just widespread corruption, but money laundering, if not influence peddling itself.”🇨🇳

  2. The republicans are even more desperate than Putin these days. That's what comes of ignoring the American people for so long. Desperate people do desperate things.

  3. Republican clowns 🤡 🎉

  4. " THE ANCIENT TRUTH WAS THAT THE DEATH OF " CHRIST " IS THE SINNERS ONLY RANSOM . . . "

  5. " THESE WORDS WERE AS THE FIRST RAY OF LIGHT THAT PROCEEDS THE DAWN . . . "

  6. Remember, the republicans who are complaining about
    "weaponizing justice are the same ones who asked for pardons. Justice is what they are afraid of. They are their accusations

  7. Everybody is a lawyer but not everybody knows the law.

  8. Comer even admits they have zero evidence of any crimes what so ever. This is just a dog & pony show that's going no where.

  9. Sure would be a blessing if investigative journalists were employed at some of these major media companies. They just want to parrot what a political party hack tell them

  10. Anything to get him out. The sooner the better.

  11. Something about a pot and a kettle comes to mind… 🤔

  12. Keep exposing your bias msm.

  13. This is a poor attempt to cover up JB, don’t be fooled by the lies, they intend to confuse you. America is seeing the failures of this admin. Congress says plenty of evidence, JB Inc not above the law, betrayal to America is serious, make them accountable 🇺🇸

  14. Yes! The house has to vote in order to have subpoena powers according to DOJ. This guy is clueless.

  15. That would be impeachment of Joseph Robinette Biden! But you won’t put his name in the headline like you called the Trump impeachment!!

  16. Go to the government website and view the evidence for yourselves.
    If you cannot find the site than you're too dumb to read it anyway.
    Lock him up.
    Trump 2024

  17. A day late & a dollar short

  18. FJB!! Shout out to George Floyd on 1,208 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals! Let’s go Brandon! 🎉

  19. You people who believe they have any proof, are believing an out and out lye. Their witness didnt say what they wanted him to say. I can not believe this MAGA lie thats going on. Makes me sad people don't fact check anything any more. You'll believe a crooked cult.

  20. There is ABSOLUTELY NO EVADENCE. They are lying about what they are telling you. PLEASE, I BEG YOU DON'T BELIEVE HIM.

  21. One thing I am sick of hearing is there is no evidence there is no evidence how much evidence do you need on Vine I mean Giuliani has Tate's going back all the way back in 2019 with his dealings and corrupt crap going back thirty years I mean it's like right now hunters living in the White House say next Tuesday at making decisions on how to direct our country I guess it is President Biden but not Joe Biden I guess we looked at his son to I mean play dumb and I never seen a Democrat I mean how can you be so stupid I mean you have evidence mounds and mounds of evidence all that we don't have no evidence against Joe Biden and miraculously his son gets indicted three separate charges on falling on an application while they wrote this up great because it's the same charge all in three papers they knew what they was doing on that one the indictments there maybe three of them just worded differently same charge they knew what they was doing and I didn't own that so he only will get one charge out of the three indictments but where's the rest of the indictments fraud money-laundering and tax-evasion I mean Al Capone went to jail for tax evasion and this crap all they would not be going after him if he was not the president son no matter who he is what he is he needs to be held accountable same as his dad 10% Joe and Obama needs to be charged along with Hillary because all this is on their watch look at their bank accounts and looking to all the people that work for Obama and Clinton that mysteriously just either got shot fell off a mountain drowned no the word on that yet but guess what case closed like Epstein no furniture at the helm hanging myself they lost footage of the jail where he hung his self coincidence don't think so and what I'm just black book that had everything everybody's name that can be charged in anyting but when you own the FBI department of Justice Homeland security attorney general Senate governor's Mayers you don't have nothing to worry about

  22. Hopey you will see. America has been watching it for months now

  23. Biden said Hunter is the smartest guy he knows. Maybe they can be cell mates 😂

  24. Be careful…follow your marching orders!!

  25. Republicans are total idiots. They are setting themselves up for a complete smack down.
    TRUMP IN PRISON 20-24…

  26. Biden family sierously should have been in prison 20 years ago. These people are evil, corrupt to the core.

  27. There is plenty of evidence if you look. There is a lot of evidence.

  28. To say Biden may of been listening in while Hunter was doing his dirty dealings, that he could only accomplish because of who his father is, but there is no evidence to suggest any wrong doing, seems to be a strange position to take. Even with all the BBC propaganda against Trump here in the UK, Trump looks as though he’s the victim of a really corrupt witch hunt and Biden looks guilty as hell.

  29. USA Today's first response to the request from the White House to cover for Joe.

  30. Jesus Christ is Lord and God, Believe in Him, Jesus Christ Saves. Believe – 1 Corinthians 15 Chapter 1 to 4; Romans 10 Chapter 9 : 10; The New Testament – Bible. Glory and Thanks to Lord and God Jesus Christ.

  31. It wouldn't matter if he's guilty of treason or not. He'll never see them the inside of a jail cell like he should. He's heavily protected by the F.B.I. and D.O.J. ,just in case everyone can't tell. He's another president that's got a Teflon coating, he's non stick. The government will do whatever it wants to, just like usual. Nothing's ever changed about that and more than likely, ever will. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. That's the God honest truth. It's been corrupt ever since I've been alive as far as I know. It's not we the people. It's we the elite and wealthy in our country!

  32. Who is this person answering all these questions? He barely looks 20 years old and I'm sure he's not the subject matter specialist for the house of representatives

  33. IMPEACH THE SENILE TYRANT ✊🏼
