House Republicans Investigate President Biden’s Family Business Dealings, But Impeachment Vote Uncertain

In a year marked by public corruption scandals, House Republicans are continuing their investigation into President Joe Biden’s family business dealings. Some in the GOP are predicting a formal impeachment vote in the opening months of 2024, but there is no consensus on the matter.

One Republican member of Congress said that they would not bet on the process, as legal fights over subpoenas and depositions could draw out the process deep into the presidential election year. Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., may not bring an impeachment vote to the floor due to a lack of evidence or a lack of GOP votes.

The investigation follows a year of public corruption scandals, including the expulsion of a congressman for lying about vaping and groping in a public theater, and the alleged bribery of Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) in the form of gold bars. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was also accused of accepting luxury yachts and vacations from billionaires.

The investigation into President Biden’s family business dealings is ongoing, and the outcome remains uncertain. It is unclear if the process will result in a formal impeachment vote, or if the lack of evidence or lack of GOP votes will prevent it from coming to the floor.
