Important Takeaways:
- House Republicans are kicking off an impeachment inquiry into allegations of corruption against President Biden
- The White House has dismissed the House Republicans’ inquiry as a baseless political stunt.
- Impeachment is a political process; it’s a tool that Congress has to remove a president from office if they have committed “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors,” according to the Constitution.
- The current inquiry into Biden stands apart from past impeachment probes in that the allegations are not tied to a particular day or action — and the claims date back to Biden’s time as vice president.
- House Republicans allege that Biden benefited from the foreign business dealings of his son, Hunter, when Biden was vice president.
- Republicans have also made broad allegations about Hunter Biden receiving preferential treatment from the IRS and the Justice Department.
- Justice Department special counsel has indicted Hunter Biden on three felony charges for allegedly purchasing a gun while he was addicted to drugs in 2018. The initial deal around his tax charges would have also allowed him to avoid prosecution on a firearm offense.
