WASHINGTON — The House on Wednesday authorized the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, with every Republican rallying behind the politically charged process despite lingering concerns among some in the party that the investigation has yet to produce evidence of misconduct by the president.
The 221-212 party-line vote put the entire House Republican conference on record in support of an impeachment process that can lead to the ultimate penalty for a president: punishment for what the Constitution describes as “high crimes and misdemeanors,” which can lead to removal from office if convicted in a Senate trial.
Biden, in a rare statement about the impeachment effort, questioned the priorities of House Republicans in pursuing an inquiry against him and his family.
“Instead of doing anything to help make Americans’ lives better, they are focused on attacking me with lies,” the president said following the vote. “Instead of doing their job on the urgent work that needs to be done, they are choosing to waste time on this baseless political stunt that even Republicans in Congress admit is not supported by facts.”

The House of Representatives on Wednesday voted to formalize an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden by a vote of 221 to 212.
The formally adopted status will enable House investigators to enforce subpoenas and gather evidence about whether the president is compromised and “traded official acts for foreign dollars,” according to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).
Republicans unanimously voted to adopt the resolution. In a surprise, Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), who had been critical of the Republicans’ impeachment focus and earlier indicated he would oppose the resolution, voted with his Republican colleagues to formalize the inquiry.
Democrats voted in a block to oppose the resolution’s adoption.
The White House failed to provide investigators:
- Information about two loan agreements Joe Biden allegedly executed with James Biden for a total of $240,000.
- 99.98 percent of requested records from President Joe Biden, including alias emails.
- Documents about an alleged $5 million bribe Joe Biden accepted.
- Materials related to Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents.

- Joe Biden becomes one of few presidents to face an impeachment inquiry
- Congress could drag him and son Hunter before them to give evidence
- Biden could be forced to hand over bank records as he is investigated for potential ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’
Republicans in Congress have fired the starting gun on a monumental battle that could lead to Joe Biden becoming the first U.S. president removed from office – but there is still a long way to go.
By authorizing a formal impeachment inquiry, the House GOP has increased the chance of Biden, his son Hunter and their associates, being dragged before Congress to answer questions about allegations of corrupt foreign business dealings.
