House approves impeachment inquiry into Biden after Hunter cameo

WASHINGTON — The House voted Wednesday to formally authorize an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, allowing committee chairmen to compel interviews, obtain documents and further their case that he was improperly involved with his family’s foreign business dealings.

The vote broke down along party lines, with 221 Republicans in favor of the inquiry and 212 Democrats against.

Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) was the only member absent.

President Biden denounced House Republicans following the vote, saying they were “choosing to waste time on this baseless political stunt.”
