Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy indicated in September that Republicans will begin an investigation into Biden’s impeachment, which may lead to a full-scale impeachment trial. McCarthy charged that Biden had presided over “a culture of corruption,” focusing his criticism on Joe Biden’s business dealings with his son Hunter Biden. The president has said he “never talked business” with any of his son’s contacts and has denied any impropriety.
Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana, who pledged to pursue the impeachment process after Biden’s conduct “looks and smells a lot like” bribery, succeeded McCarthy, who became the first Speaker of the House in American history, following three weeks of Republican unrest.
Republican Oversight Committee Chair James Comer maintained that they had “mountains of evidence” against Biden. “We know not only there were crimes, we know there are cover-ups. We have mountains of evidence and now we’re ready to bring ’em in.” “We’re in the downhill phase of this investigation now because we have so many documents and we can bring these people in for depositions or committee hearings, whichever they choose, and we can ask these questions with evidence.”.
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court will preside over an impeachment trial in the Senate if the House votes by a simple majority to enact articles of impeachment against the president. A two-thirds majority in the Senate is necessary for conviction, and because Republicans make up the minority in that body, they have a great chance of obtaining that number.
