The president, who is 81 years old, stumbled over words, losing his train of thought at times and appearing dazed at others during the event. It marked a breakthrough moment for Democrats, who began raising alarm about Biden\u2019s declining cognitive state as he campaigns against former President Donald Trump for reelection.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers involved with the inquiry openly <a href=\"https:\/\/punchbowl.news\/article\/impeachment\/republicans-sit-on-joe-biden-impeachment-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>acknowledged<\/a> in <em>Punchbowl News<\/em> that it would be unwise to steal the spotlight from Democrats amid their intraparty catastrophe, but multiple sources told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> that is not the cause of the delay of the report\u2019s release.<\/p>\n<p>An Oversight spokesman said in May that the report was expected \u201csoon,\u201d but the back-and-forth over the edits has drawn out the process longer than Comer would have preferred. One source said it will not be completed before the Republican National Convention, which is taking place July 15 to 18.<\/p>\n<p>An Oversight spokeswoman said Thursday her committee\u2019s view is that the president \u201cshould be impeached\u201d and that the committee is aiming for a speedy release of the report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Oversight Committee has been prepared for months to begin the process to remove him from his office,\u201d the spokeswoman said in a statement. \u201cThe fact that President Biden is declining mentally and Hunter Biden acts as a gatekeeper in the White House shows the need to remove Joe Biden from public office is even more pressing. We will continue to work with the other committees to finalize and release a joint impeachment inquiry report as expeditiously as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The committees opened the inquiry into Biden last fall to investigate allegations that the president was involved in his son Hunter Biden\u2019s multimillion-dollar dealings in countries including China and Ukraine. <\/p>\n<p>The committees have since uncovered a wealth of evidence showing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hunter-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Hunter Biden\">Hunter Biden<\/a>, who was grappling with crack cocaine and alcohol addiction at the time, wielded his father\u2019s name to foreign executives to secure lucrative business arrangements with them while Joe Biden was vice president. The committees found evidence that Joe Biden had brief interactions with some of these executives, sometimes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/a-hunter-biden-debate-finally-5f9d6124\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>described<\/a> as \u201cwinks\u201d and \u201cnods\u201d that signaled his awareness of their business with Hunter Biden and his brother James Biden, but most of the GOP\u2019s impeachment witnesses denied that the president had direct involvement in his family\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p>One of the sources involved with the impeachment report suggested that Hunter Biden, who has appeared to step into an unofficial advisory role for his father amid Joe Biden\u2019s mounting political crisis, would want his father to stay in office for self-serving reasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>The impeachment report contains \u201cover a year of material that catalogues text messages and emails that clearly show the President lied about his involvement in his son\u2019s business. That Hunter has been advising his father on whether to stay in the race is hardly a surprise,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n<p>While Comer\u2019s team has been insistent that the House should vote to impeach Joe Biden, there has been little appetite to do so among the broader GOP conference. Republicans hold a razor-thin majority in the House, and the vote would fail unless it garnered near full support from the 220 GOP members.<\/p>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1699658\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1699658\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><a class=\"tdb-logo-a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" title=\"Washington Examiner\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-img-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-title\">Washington Examiner<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Republicans are currently working on finalizing their impeachment report on President Joe Biden, with disagreements arising over the language and content of the report.
