The US House of Representatives voted 221-212 to begin constitutional impeachment proceedings against US President Joe Biden, The Guardian reported. BBC.
Republican lawmakers are accusing President Joe Biden of using his political influence to help his son Hunter Biden’s troubled business. Among other things, they allege that Joe Biden spoke on his son’s behalf with his business partners, and that the Biden family and their business partners received more than $24 million from foreign sources in China, Kazakhstan, Romania, Russia and Ukraine between 2014 and 2019.
We've written about the issue that's been going on for months: Even Republicans themselves aren't seriously considering ousting the president in this way, perhaps their main goal is to keep the Hunter Biden issue on the front page all the time.

Regardless, the impeachment inquiry could create a serious headache for Biden in the middle of an election year, though it’s unlikely he’ll actually be held accountable at the end of the proceedings regardless of the outcome of the investigation. And even if the House decides to do so, the Democratic-controlled Senate is certain to impeach the sitting president.
According to the Democratic Party and the White House, the entire investigation is a political stunt, and according to Biden, his opponents are “attacking him with lies.”
Meanwhile, just yesterday, the House Oversight Committee planned to hear from Hunter Biden behind closed doors as it investigates the family’s business affairs and the current president’s possible criminal involvement. However, the president’s son did not attend the hearing, instead telling reporters not far from the congressional office building where the committee met that his father was “not financially involved” in his business affairs, and there was no evidence of that. Hunter Biden also said he would be willing to answer the committee’s questions at a public hearing.
