Quick takeaways

  • The first impeachment inquiry on President Biden focused on allegations of presidential corruption, criminal bribery, and the Biden family's web of companies.

Deep dives

House Republicans hold first impeachment inquiry on President Biden

House Republicans conducted their first impeachment inquiry on President Biden. The hearing focused on whether there is enough evidence to pursue a full impeachment. Republican witnesses argued that there is sufficient evidence, citing allegations of criminal bribery and the flow of money to Hunter Biden. The GOP witnesses also highlighted the need to connect the dots between the Biden family's web of companies and Hunter Biden's own texts about giving money to Joe. However, Democratic witnesses disagreed, suggesting that the inquiry is focused solely on Hunter Biden and lacks evidence against Joe Biden.
