House Republicans released the results of their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden on Monday morning, a day when he’s set to speak at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
The report which is the culmination of a congressional probe into potentially “impeachable conduct” found that the lame-duck leader engaged in “abuse of power” and “obstruction of justice or obstruction of Congress” and that he “abused his office” and “defrauded the United States to enrich his family.”

The release of the 292-page report which culminates months of work by the House Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways and Means committees kicks off what promises to be a busy news cycle for a week when Democrats will shower Biden with praise after they stole the nomination from him in an unprecedented palace coup.
According to the report, “Joe Biden has exhibited conduct and taken actions that the Founders sought to guard against in drafting the impeachment provisions in the Constitution: abuse of power, foreign entanglements, corruption, and obstruction of investigations into these matters.”
“The Committees’ investigative work has revealed that the Biden family — with the full knowledge and cooperation of President Biden — has engaged in a global influence peddling racket from which they made millions of dollars,” lawmakers said.
“Joe Biden has committed impeachable offenses,” the House Oversight Committee wrote in a post to X, sharing the report.

“Americans now know Joe Biden was ‘the brand’ the Bidens sold around the world to enrich the Biden family, and Joe Biden knew of, benefitted from, and participated in his family’s influence peddling schemes,” the committee says.
Biden is accused of aiding his son Hunter and brother James in their crooked business dealings and trying to prevent oversight into his shady family members by resisting Congress during the course of their investigation which began last September.
“As Vice President, President Biden actively participated in his conspiracy by, among other things, attending dinners with his family’s foreign business partners and speaking to them by phone, often when being placed on speakerphone by Hunter Biden,” the report says.
The geriatric career politician “knowingly participated” in a conspiracy “to monetize his office of public trust to enrich his family” during his time in the White House and as Barack Obama’s vice president, according to House Republicans.
“Joe Biden’s participation in his family’s influence peddling represents — as quantified by sheer dollar amounts flowing to a public official’s personal interests — one of the most egregious abuses of power uncovered in the history of the United States,” the lawmakers allege.
“President Biden’s participation in this conspiracy to enrich his family constitutes as impeachable conduct,” House Republicans said. “By monetizing the Vice Presidency for his family’s benefit, he abused his office of public trust, placing the welfare of his family ahead of the welfare of the United States.”
