House Oversight Committee to Hold First Hearing in Republican-Led Impeachment Inquiry into President Joe Biden

The House Oversight Committee is set to hold the first hearing in the Republican-led impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden on Thursday. The hearing will focus on the basis of the inquiry and present evidence House Republicans have uncovered about Biden’s knowledge of and role in his family’s domestic and international business practices.

Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said the 10 a.m. hearing will feature legal and financial experts discussing “crimes the Bidens may have committed as they brought in millions at the expense of U.S. interests.”

The House Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means Committees outlined their view of the factual and legal basis for an impeachment inquiry into President Biden in a 30-page memo, which was obtained by CBS News. The memo states that the committees will look into whether Mr. Biden “abused his federal office to enrich his family and conceal his and/or his family’s misconduct.”

The hearing is the first step in the impeachment inquiry and is expected to be followed by additional hearings and investigations. It is unclear at this time what the outcome of the inquiry will be, but it is likely to be a long and drawn-out process.

The hearing is set to take place on Thursday morning and will be closely watched by both sides of the political aisle. It is expected to be a contentious and heated debate, as Republicans and Democrats battle over the facts and evidence presented. It remains to be seen what the outcome of the inquiry will be, but it is sure to be a major political event.
