On Wednesday night, the House of Representatives voted to officially open an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden after son Hunter Biden refused to meet with the Oversight Committee earlier in the day.
From The New York Post:
The vote broke down along party lines, with 221 Republicans in favor of the inquiry and 212 Democrats against.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) told The Post that the White House had forced Republicans to put the resolution up for a vote after “blocking witnesses from testifying” and “withholding thousands of documents,” including emails Biden traded with his son and his son’s business partners while he was vice president, which are held at the National Archives.
The White House told Republicans that it was “not going to acknowledge or … recognize these subpoenas as valid without a full vote of the House,” Emmer said. “[Speaker] Mike Johnson, when faced with that said, ‘All right, well, we’re gonna have to go to court to get these enforced anyway, might as well eliminate any objection that they have before we get there.”
