"Impeachment Briefing, White House Demands Scrutiny: Will Biden Face Impeachment?"

Several GOP senators have signaled their support for an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden after being briefed by House Oversight and Judiciary Committee chairs, Reps. James Comer and Jim Jordan. The briefing, which lasted under an hour, aimed to provide information on the House GOP's process and planned timeline. Some senators expressed the need for answers to legitimate questions, while others praised the House GOP investigations into the Biden family. A vote to start an impeachment inquiry would be the first step in the process, with the final decision resting with the Senate. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced the impeachment inquiry to seek bank records and other documents related to Biden and his son Hunter. However, the Republican-led investigations have not uncovered evidence of wrongdoing by the president.

The threat of a US government shutdown and a Biden impeachment inquiry loom over the House's return.

House Returns to Fall Chaos: Shutdown, Impeachment, and Spending Battles

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces a challenging return to Congress as he juggles avoiding a government shutdown, supporting Ukraine in the war, and launching an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. McCarthy is caught between the demands of the far-right Republicans who helped him become speaker and the need to maintain his leadership. He must navigate the delicate balance of appeasing conservative demands while also managing the impeachment inquiry, which could help rally Republican allies of former President Donald Trump. McCarthy's ability to lead is threatened by the possibility of an abrupt ouster, and he faces pressure from conservatives to slash government funding and address other priorities.
