US house approves impeachment inquiry on Biden

The Republican-controlled US House of Representatives voted to initiate a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden based on allegations surrounding his son, Hunter Biden, and his controversial international dealings. President Biden dismissed the move as a “baseless” political stunt, highlighting the lack of evidence provided by Republicans. The vote, standing at 221 to 212 along party lines, gives Republicans a reason to critique Biden as he prepares for his 2024 reelection campaign. The core accusation against Hunter Biden involves alleged influence-peddling in Ukraine and China, but the White House maintains that no wrongdoing occurred.
