The U.S. House of Representatives voted 221 to 212 Wednesday to formalize the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, who faces allegations that he personally benefited from and lied about his son's overseas business dealings, which raked in millions of dollars.
This vote was not a vote to impeach the president, only to formalize the impeachment inquiry which has been gathering and releasing evidence for months.
That evidence includes bank records, copies of checks and witness testimony backing allegations that the Biden family and associates received used the Biden family name to rake in more than $20 million from entities in China, Russia, Ukraine and more.
IRS whistleblowers also testified that the Department of Justice interfered in their investigation into Hunter Biden. A long-time business associate of Hunter Biden has publicly said that the president spoke on speakerphone to Hunter's business associates about 20 times. Bank records released by the Oversight Committee appear to show monthly payments in 2018 from Hunter Biden's company to the president.
