"House Launches Biden Impeachment Inquiry Amidst Corruption Allegations"
The US House of Representatives, led by its most senior Republican Kevin McCarthy, will launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, focusing on allegations of abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption. While Republicans have not found concrete evidence of misconduct by Biden, they have shed light on business dealings by his son Hunter Biden, which they deem questionable, as well as Biden's knowledge of his son's activities. The White House condemned McCarthy's decision, stating that Republicans have been investigating the president for nine months without finding any evidence of wrongdoing. Any effort to remove President Biden through impeachment is unlikely to succeed, as Democrats hold a majority in the Senate. McCarthy's move may be an attempt to appease right-wing House Republicans ahead of budget battles, but it carries risks as centrist Republicans fear it could alienate independent and moderate voters.
