House Republicans have accused President Joe Biden of impeachable offenses in a 291-page report released by the House Judiciary, Oversight, and Ways and Means committees. The report claims Biden abused his power and obstructed justice, focusing primarily on his alleged involvement in the business dealings of his son, Hunter Biden, and brother, James Biden. The accusations coincide with the start of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
The report’s claims center on Hunter and James Biden’s business ventures, which Republicans argue benefited from Joe Biden’s political influence. The GOP report describes these dealings as corrupt and asserts that Biden conspired to facilitate these ventures, thereby abusing his office.
However, the report does not definitively link President Biden to any criminal actions, raising doubts about the feasibility of gathering enough support within the Republican Party for impeachment.

The White House has firmly denied any wrongdoing by President Biden, dismissing the GOP investigation as a waste of time and taxpayer money. White House spokesperson Sharon Yang criticized the Republicans’ efforts, claiming they had only succeeded in disproving their own conspiracy theories.
The White House argues that the investigation failed to produce substantial evidence of Biden’s involvement in any impeachable conduct.
Republicans focused on business deals involving Hunter and James Biden, suggesting they received loans and business opportunities that they would not have had without Joe Biden’s political status.
However, several of the Bidens’ business associates have stated that Joe Biden was not involved in their dealings. Both Hunter and James Biden have consistently argued that Joe Biden had no direct involvement in their business ventures.
The report alleges that the Biden family received $27 million from foreign business ventures and claims Joe Biden had knowledge of these activities, even if he was not formally involved.
Additionally, the GOP accuses Biden of obstructing justice by interfering with the Justice Department’s investigations, including his handling of classified documents. Despite these claims, the report fails to provide evidence directly tying Biden to criminal conduct.
