House of Representatives to open Biden impeachment inquiry, Kevin McCarthy says
Kevin McCarthy said the inquiry would focus on “allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption” by Mr Biden.
Republicans have been investigating the president since they took control of the House in January.
The hearings have found no concrete evidence of misconduct by Mr Biden.
They have, however, shed more light on business dealings by the president’s only surviving son Hunter Biden, which Republicans say are questionable – and on Mr Biden’s knowledge of his son’s activities.
In a brief statement at the US Capitol, Mr McCarthy said there were “serious and credible” allegations involving the president’s conduct.
“Taken together, these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption,” he said
