The Republicans are launching an attempt to oust Joe Biden as US president: they are aiming for impeachment proceedings. The Republican leader of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, supports investigations into this. The reason is the trial of Hunter Biden, the president’s son.
There are credible allegations that Biden was involved in his son’s illegal businesses, McCarthy said in Washington on Tuesday. “These are allegations of abuse of power, cover-up and corruption and they warrant further investigation,” McCarthy said.
Looking for a majority for research
The Republican now wants to get a majority of his party’s members in the House of Representatives behind him to start the investigation. It remains to be seen whether this will happen and whether a so-called impeachment procedure can be opened in a next step. In any case, Republicans are in the majority in one chamber.
In any case, the other chamber of Congress, the Senate, would have to decide on a possible impeachment of the president. Biden’s Democrats have a slim majority there. The possibility that the president will ultimately be found guilty and removed from office has so far been ruled out.
