House leader calls for impeachment investigation of Joe Biden

On Tuesday, Kevin McCarthy, the Republican “speaker” of the House of Representatives, requested an investigation into the impeachment of Joe Biden.

Counterattack by Republicans. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday he supports opening an impeachment investigation into Joe Biden.

The “Speaker of Parliament” (the equivalent of the Speaker of the National Assembly) announced: “I ask a committee in the House of Representatives to open a formal investigation to impeach him,” believing that the president “lied” to the Americans about his son’s controversial affairs abroad.

The White House described the maneuver as “highly political” one year before the presidential election. “House Republicans investigated the president for nine months and found not a single piece of evidence of wrongdoing.” Ian Sams saidWhite House spokesman on the social network X, formerly known as Twitter.

Hunter Biden is the target of the American right

Hunter Biden, the fifty-year-old son of the Democratic president, has become a favorite target of the American right. In particular, it accuses him of making questionable deals in Ukraine and China when Joe Biden was Vice President Barack Obama (2009-2017), benefiting from his father’s networks and name.

The US Constitution stipulates that Congress can impeach the president for “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

The Trump wing of the Republican Party has been demanding for months the start of impeachment proceedings, as its leader, Kevin McCarthy, was forced to make many concessions to gain power in January.
