Biden impeachment inquiry: Key details before today’s first hearing.
House Republicans to Hold First Impeachment Inquiry Hearing Against President Biden
Get ready for a high-stakes showdown as House Republicans gear up for their first impeachment inquiry hearing against President Joe Biden. This crucial hearing, which will be livestreamed starting at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time, will be led by House Committee on Oversight and Government Accountability James Comer (R-KY). Here’s what you need to know.
The Evidence
According to Comer, this hearing won’t introduce new evidence, but it will shed light on the potential “crimes the Bidens may have committed.” In a statement, he emphasized the need for transparency and accountability, stating that “Congress has a duty to open an impeachment inquiry into President Biden’s corruption.” The Republicans have spent the past year investigating Biden’s family, particularly focusing on Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
During the hearing, Republicans plan to publicly present compelling evidence, including “emails, text messages, bank records, and testimony of Biden business associates.”
The Witnesses
Three expert witnesses have been called to testify:
- Bruce Dubinsky, a forensic accountant and founder of Dubinsky Consulting, known for his expertise in criminal and financial fraud.
- Eileen O’Connor, former assistant attorney general for the Department of Justice’s tax division during the Bush administration.
- Jonathan Turley, a renowned legal scholar and the Shapiro Chair for Public Interest Law at the George Washington University.
Oversight Democrats have also called Michael Gerhardt, a constitutional law professor at the University of North Carolina, to testify. Gerhardt has been openly critical of the GOP’s impeachment push, referring to it as a “fishing expedition.”
The Allegations
Republicans will focus on Hunter Biden’s use of his family’s name to gain access to the Obama administration during Joe Biden’s time as vice president. They claim that Biden was aware of his son’s business dealings and even used his office to benefit Hunter. However, the president has consistently denied any knowledge of Hunter’s foreign business activities.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy alleges that Republicans have uncovered over 150 transactions between Biden family members and their business associates. Additionally, Republicans will rely on testimony from IRS whistleblowers who claim that the Biden administration obstructed investigations into Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
Biden’s Response
While Biden is unlikely to directly address the hearing, he will be delivering a campaign speech in Arizona on the importance of protecting democracy. The White House, on the other hand, has been actively countering the GOP’s claims, calling the hearing “baseless” and accusing Republicans of attempting to distract from other pressing issues.
As the hearing unfolds, the White House has released a memo that rebuts seven allegations of alleged Biden family crimes, labeling the impeachment push as an “extreme, far-right political agenda.”

How can financial expertise help in evaluating the integrity of the Biden administration and determining the accountability of President Biden for the actions of his family members
Expertise in financial investigations and accounting.
These witnesses will play a crucial role in presenting the evidence and providing insights into the potential wrongdoing within the Biden family. House Republicans are focusing on several key allegations against President Biden and his family. Firstly, they claim that Joe Biden used his position as Vice President to benefit his son Hunter by pressuring foreign governments to give favorable treatment to companies connected to him. They argue that this constitutes an abuse of power and a conflict of interest. Secondly, Republicans allege that Hunter Biden’s business dealings, particularly with foreign entities, raise serious questions of potential corruption. They argue that these dealings may have compromised national security and undermined the integrity of the Biden administration. Lastly, Republicans claim that President Biden himself is involved in the alleged wrongdoing, pointing to his knowledge and potential involvement in Hunter’s business activities. They contend that he should be held accountable for any illegal or unethical actions committed by his family members. If the impeachment inquiry is successful, it could have far-reaching consequences for President Biden and his administration. It could tarnish his reputation, weaken his political standing, and potentially lead to even further investigations and legal actions. However, it is important to note that the outcome of this hearing is uncertain. The Democrats, who hold the majority in the House, have already expressed skepticism about the grounds for the impeachment inquiry. They argue that it is politically motivated and lacks a solid legal basis. Ultimately, the decision to proceed with impeachment rests in the hands of Congress. The hearing will provide an opportunity for both sides to present their arguments and for the American people to evaluate the evidence and draw their own conclusions. The impeachment inquiry hearing against President Biden marks a critical moment in his presidency. House Republicans are seeking to shed light on the alleged corruption and wrongdoing within the Biden family. The evidence presented and the testimony of the witnesses will play a crucial role in determining the course of further investigations and potential political ramifications. As the hearing unfolds, it is vital for all Americans to closely follow the proceedings, assess the evidence presented, and engage in informed discussions about the implications of these allegations on the current administration and the future of our democracy.The Allegations
