In December 2023, U.S. House Republicans unanimously escalated their impeachment inquiries against President Joe Biden, seeking specifically to link the president to his son Hunter’s foreign business engagements. That effort died a slow death over the subsequent months, as no compelling evidence turned up and some Republicans began to walk away. With the next election now just months away and President Biden announcing he’ll no longer be running, the story of House Republicans’ impeachment efforts fell out of the news cycle.
Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor Ben Weingarten argues that House Republicans should remain committed to an impeachment inquiry against President Biden until the very end.

The following is an excerpt from the above video:
Additionally, the House need not show that the president directly ordered his subordinates to obstruct an investigation. In certain circumstances, the president may be impeached for the actions of subordinate officials they add.
What’s more, the impeachment investigators allege that the Biden-Harris DOJ and White House obstructed the House investigation through hiding key documents and witnesses. All told, the committees allege that Joe Biden abused power, engaged in foreign entanglements, corruption and obstruction of investigations into these matters, rising to the level of impeachable conduct. It is unclear that he will face anything more than a report that stands as an afterthought, with President Biden being rendered a sort of president in name only, sitting in political purgatory for five months while the world burns and unceremoniously tossed aside by his party with the Congress unwilling to hold him to account.
