The House of Commons formalizes the investigation against Biden

The United States House of Representativeswith the Republican majority, approved this Wednesday to formalize the investigation of political trial (‘impeachment’) launched by conservatives against the president, Joe Biden.

Those investigations were unilaterally opened in September by the then president of that council, Kevin McCarthyand Republicans now hope that his 221-212 confirmation will ease their access to information, documents and testimony.

“The White House is blocking key testimony,” the president said House Oversight Committee, James Comerwho is leading this investigation and who assessed it as “important and necessary”.

Republicans are eyeing the Biden family’s alleged business dealings with the country’s “adversaries” such as China, exploiting their political connections.

The opposition accuses the Democratic president of using his influence while he was vice president of the United States in Barack Obama’s administration (2009-2017) to help son Hunter and other relatives in alleged irregular dealings with these “enemies”.

Comer is coordinating investigations with representatives Committee on the Judiciary, Jim Jordan, and Committee on Ways and Means, Jason Smith.

At this point, according to the current Speaker of the House of Commons, also a Republican Michael Johnsoncommissions concluded that the Biden family received more than 15 million dollars foreign companies and governments Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Romania and China between 2014 and 2019. His partners would get others 9 million.

Hunter Biden He was invited to testify behind closed doors in this regard this Wednesday, but did not respond to the invitation, stating that he wanted his testimony to be public.

As Comer, who plans to sue him for contempt of court, later noted, the fact that his son refused to speak today reinforces the need for the chamber to formalize the investigation and for the president and his family to “bear responsibility for their corruption.”

“These people do not work for the Americans, but for Donald Trump“Aggrieved in the debate is Democratic Congressman Jim McGovern, who is under investigation as a continuation of the “crusade” undertaken by Republicans to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

The United States Constitution provides that a president may be removed from office by impeachment if he has committed a crime “serious crimes or misdemeanors”.

When the time comes, House of Representatives must vote on the indictment of the current president, but the power to remove the country’s president subsequently falls to the Senate, where Democrats are currently in control.
