House Republicans on Monday said Joe Biden engaged in “impeachable conduct” in a final report on their investigation into the president — but don’t expect the House to vote on articles of impeachment anytime soon.
After investigating the Biden family for the past year and a half, interviewing dozens of witnesses and reviewing thousands of documents, Republicans couldn’t find clear evidence of official wrongdoing by the president.
Instead, their final report faults Biden for having repeatedly interacted with his son Hunter Biden’s business partners and giving them the impression that paying Hunter Biden would win them influence with Joe Biden.
“Based on the totality of the evidence, it is inconceivable that President Biden did not understand that he was taking part in an effort to enrich his family by abusing his office of public trust,” the report says.
Almost all of the conduct Republicans described in their report occurred before Biden became president in 2021, with most of it occurring after he left the vice presidency in 2017. Republicans also complained that the Biden administration stonewalled their investigation and stifled a criminal investigation into his son, even though the Justice Department is pursuing gun and tax charges against Hunter Biden.
