- Senior Republican Kevin McCarthy claims that the US House of Representatives will launch an investigation into President Biden’s impeachment.
- 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 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.
- The White House was quick to condemn Mr McCarthy’s decision.
- “House Republicans have been investigating the President for nine months, and they’ve turned up no evidence of wrongdoing,” White House spokesperson Ian Sams wrote in a social media post. “Extreme politics at its worst.”
