A House Republican-led impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden and his family has stalled following missteps and a lack of clear consensus on what a successful conclusion would look like.
The inquiry has yet to produce evidence that the president received any financial benefit from his son’s business dealings. Hunter Biden appeared for a closed-door deposition earlier this year and insisted that his father was not involved.
He also accused Republicans of pursuing a “baseless and destructive political charade,” charging that the impeachment investigation was built on an “entire partisan house of cards on lies.”
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, a Kentucky lawmaker leading the probe, and his fellow top Republicans have been caught between the far-right wing’s early demands for impeachment and skeptical Republicans in vulnerable districts. Meanwhile, Democrats have accused their GOP colleagues of doing former President Donald Trump’s bidding.
