"Democrats defend Biden's fatherly love amidst GOP's embarrassing impeachment hearing disaster"

House Democrats in the Oversight Committee's impeachment inquiry hearing defended President Biden by arguing that his only "guilt" is being a loving father to his son Hunter.

Meanwhile, House Republicans launched the inquiry to investigate the Biden family's finances and business dealings, alleging that there is evidence of leveraging public office for personal gain. The committee plans to subpoena bank records of Hunter Biden and his affiliated companies to further investigate the flow of money.

"House Republicans Uncover Damning Evidence in Hunter Biden Probe"

Republican members of the House Ways and Means Committee have released over 700 pages of IRS whistleblower documents, fueling the House GOP impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden centered on his son Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings. The documents include business tax returns, interview transcripts, and emails, which Republicans claim show Hunter Biden using his father's political standing as part of a global family influence-peddling scheme. Democrats argue that the GOP cherry-picked information and that the allegations are uncorroborated. Federal prosecutors plan to charge Hunter Biden with tax crimes, and President Biden has denied involvement in his family's business agreements.

"House GOP Resurrects Allegations: New Memo Exposes Hunter Biden's Foreign Business Dealings"

House Republicans have released a 19-page memo on Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings, claiming to have new information obtained in their investigation. However, the memo largely draws from past reports and testimony, including a 2020 report by Republican senators. The memo argues that evidence directly connecting Joe Biden to the business efforts is not necessary to demonstrate corruption. The White House has dismissed the claims, stating there is no evidence of wrongdoing by the president. House Democrats criticize the memo as part of Republicans' baseless calls for an impeachment inquiry. The memo highlights a $3.5 million payment to a business entity co-founded by Hunter Biden and a wire transfer for a sports car, both previously reported.

"GOP Memo Challenges Necessity of Direct Payments to President Biden for Corruption Allegations"

House Republicans investigating President Biden's family's foreign business dealings argue that they don't need to show direct payments to the president to demonstrate corruption. A memo released by House Oversight and Accountability Republican staff outlines millions of dollars from foreign sources that flowed to Hunter Biden and his associates, including payments from Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan during Joe Biden's vice presidency. The memo does not identify any direct payments to President Biden or that he directly benefited from them. Republicans are using testimony from Hunter Biden associate Devon Archer to support their claims, alleging that President Biden's participation in conversations with his son's business associates shows his knowledge of and involvement in the dealings. Democrats dismiss the memo and accuse Republicans of changing their investigatory standards.

Turley exposes Biden family's complex web of LLCs and hidden assets.

House Republicans have released new allegations about the Biden family's foreign business dealings, including details about several LLCs, which Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley argues confirm their worst expectations about the "family business." Bank records show that several Biden family members, including grandkids, received funds from foreign business dealings. The family business had dozens of LLCs and accounts that seemed designed to hide these payments. The House Oversight Committee panel believes President Biden "has been involved" in his family's foreign business dealings "from the very beginning." The White House has accused the investigation of being "evidence-free" and "politically-motivated."
