Understanding the Biden Impeachment Inquiry: A Comprehensive Overview

The Republican-led US House of Representatives has voted to formally authorize an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, making him the eighth president to face such an inquiry. The decision came after Biden's son, Hunter Biden, defied a congressional subpoena by refusing to testify behind closed doors. Republicans accuse the president and his family of profiting from his time as vice president, particularly focusing on Hunter Biden's business activities in Ukraine and China. While analysts believe the impeachment effort is unlikely to remove Biden from office, it could allow Republicans to highlight allegations of corruption during the 2024 election campaign.
