Republicans in Congress have also summoned relatives of the US president as part of their investigation into possible impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden. On Wednesday, the important scrutiny committee of the US House of Representatives asked, among others, Biden’s son Hunter and Biden’s brother James to appear for questioning.
The committee gathered a body of evidence showing that Joe Biden knew about and benefited from his family’s machinations, the committee said in a statement. That’s why Hunter Biden’s family members and a former business partner, Rob Partner, should be questioned now. The already threatened step is a new escalation in the action of the Republicans against the Democrat Biden.
Republicans accuse Biden of abusing his public office for his family’s financial gain. They have not yet provided clear evidence. In addition to the subpoenas, the committee is demanding recorded interviews with other members of Biden’s family.
The question is whether the Republican investigation will actually lead to impeachment proceedings. Because this first requires a majority in the House of Representatives. The Republicans have a narrow majority there, but the group is fragmented. Even if he were successful, the other chamber of Congress, the Senate, would have to decide on impeachment. Biden’s Democrats have a slim majority there. The possibility that the president could ultimately be removed from office is therefore currently ruled out. (sda/dpa)
