House GOP to Discuss Biden Impeachment Inquiry Progress
The meeting, expected to revolve solely around the impeachment inquiry, comes as the investigation reaches an advanced stage with key witnesses being approached for testimony.
- House Republicans plan to meet Friday morning to discuss next steps in their impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden, which may involve a critical floor vote to signal the party's intentions.
- The impeachment inquiry was opened unilaterally by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy in September without a vote of the full House.
- Under the new leadership of Speaker Mike Johnson, a vote could come as soon as Friday, but it is more likely to happen in the coming weeks before the House adjourns for the holidays and returns in the new year.
- The Republicans' planned Friday huddle comes as the Biden investigation has reached an advanced stage, with impeachment investigators approaching members of the president’s inner circle, including Hunter Biden and James Biden — his son and brother — for testimony.
- House Republicans have been investigating President Biden's son, Hunter Biden, and his overseas business deals, claiming that President Biden benefitted from his family’s business activities. The investigation has not yet turned up evidence directly linking the president to his family members' business deals.
