The impeachment of Biden. What is the US President accused of?

Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced a formal investigation that could launch the impeachment process of President Joe Biden.

In the United States, initiating the impeachment of a president is becoming an established tradition. After Donald Trump, the talk about the impeachment of Joe Biden began. The investigation will focus on allegations of corruption, abuse of power and obstruction of justice against Biden.

Republican PR?

The focus of Congress will be on the business activities of the President’s son Hunter Biden, who is suspected of reprehensible business practices, with the House Republican majority trying to show that the President himself benefited in some way. from his son’s activities.

Republicans have been conducting their investigation for months, but have yet to produce any concrete evidence to support these allegations. All of this has drawn criticism from Democrats.

The impeachment is declared by the House of Representatives, for this a simple majority is enough, which Biden’s Republican opponents have if they manage to maintain unity. But after that, the bills are considered by the Senate, and for their approval they need a two-thirds vote. It has never been possible to cross this threshold in over 200 years of US history.

Donald Trump has already expressed support for the actions of Republicans in the House of Representatives who are trying to impeach his successor.

At this point, no one can say with certainty whether Republicans have conclusive evidence to support the long-standing allegations against the president, or whether they can muster enough votes to impeach him. McCarthy plans to hold a closed meeting of House Republicans this week to discuss the entire process.

Moreover, while moderate Republicans consider impeachment unnecessary, the far-right faction has already accused McCarthy of moving too slowly.

Cases of corruption

In a memo released in August of this year, the House Oversight Committee said it had evidence that the Biden family and their business associates received more than $20 million in payments from questionable foreign sources in countries like China, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Russia and Romania.

The committee’s chairman, Kentucky Republican James Comer, said Hunter Biden’s former business partner Devon Archer testified that he was “selling the illusion” of access to his father, then vice president under by Barack Obama.

It should be noted that Archer himself later said that Hunter “traded” not so much access to his father as access to the Washington elite, or more precisely, the promise to explain how it works. However, according to Comer, Hunter created a brand from his father to “receive millions from the oligarchs.”

But in a statement on August 9, the same Comer was forced to admit that “it appears that no real service… was rendered.” However, he was still not deterred and reported that Biden Sr. had lunch at a fashionable restaurant in Washington, DC, “with oligarchs from all over the world who sent money to his son.”

Only three US presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson in 1868, Bill Clinton in 1998, and Donald Trump twice. None of them were ultimately convicted by the Senate.

Democrats currently hold a 51-49 majority in the Senate, all but guaranteeing that the campaign against Biden will suffer the same fate.
