On Wednesday, the House of Representatives voted 221 to 212 to formally open an impeachment investigation into President Joe Biden.

According to House Speaker Mike Johnson, (R-LA), the newly adopted status will allow House investigators enforce subpoenas as well as gather evidence to determine whether or not the president has been compromised and “traded his official acts for dollars from abroad.”

Republicans unanimously adopted the resolution. Ken Buck (R, CO), who was critical of Republicans’ focus on impeachment and had indicated earlier that he would vote against the resolution, surprised his Republican colleagues by voting to formalize the investigation.

The Democrats voted as a bloc to vote against the adoption of the resolution.

1776 Coalition Sponsored It’s Back to the Future 5 years later & AOC is still beating her antisemitic, anti-Israel drum. Unfortunately, her influence is only growing, and the media is happy to give her a bullhorn anytime she wants one. If you’ve had enough of AOC, then help us start the efforts to remove her from Congress early so we succeed! It’s time to Protect American Values!

The White House did not provide investigators with:

Information on two loan agreements Joe Biden and James Biden are alleged to have executed for a combined amount of $240,000.

99.98% of the records requested from President Joe Biden were provided, including emails with aliases.

Documents about a alleged $5,000,000 bribe Joe Biden received.

Documents relating to Joe Biden mishandling classified documents.

The vote was an important test for the House Republicans. They only have a small majority, which will continue to shrink this month following Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA’s) resignation announcement. Rep. Bill Johnson, R-FL, is expected to depart in the coming year for a post at a university.

Speaker McCarthy launched an “impeachment investigation” against the President on September 12. However, lawmakers didn’t vote to approve this measure until Wednesday.

A Democrat strategist, who worked for Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, told The Messenger that the chaos involving Hunter Biden gave him a “pit in my stomach”. This Hunter story could ruin Biden’s career.

Hunter Biden, who had been subpoenaed to give a closed-door testimony on Wednesday, did not appear at a Capitol press conference. House investigators will focus on Hunter’s business deals and his father’s alleged involvement and knowledge.

After Hunter failed to appear, House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R – KY) and Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan (R – OH) began contempt proceedings.

Recent polling has shown that Americans are very skeptical about Hunter and Joe Biden.
