Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives have initiated impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden, coinciding with the opening of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

A nearly 300-page report from three key committees accuses Biden of corruption related to his son Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings, alleging he used his influence to assist these ventures.

However, the report primarily consists of insinuations and lacks concrete evidence linking Biden directly to any criminal actions or his son's business dealings.

While Hunter Biden's business dealings with Chinese corporations are mentioned, the report does not establish direct links to Joe Biden's actions during his vice presidency.

Despite serious allegations, Republicans have failed to provide direct evidence that Biden used his position to benefit his son or was involved in Hunter Biden's business activities.

Even if the House votes for impeachment, Biden's removal would require a two-thirds vote in the Senate, which is currently controlled by Democrats, making his ousting unlikely.

James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, characterized Biden's presidency as marked by public abuse, corruption, and obstruction.

The report also accuses the Biden administration of obstructing congressional access to key documents and witnesses related to investigations into classified materials and Hunter Biden's business dealings.

Democrats have denounced the impeachment efforts as politically motivated retribution against Biden, reminiscent of the impeachment proceedings against former President Trump.

Biden, who withdrew from the 2024 presidential race in July, is set to leave office on January 20 following the swearing-in of his successor.

The timing of the report's release has raised questions, especially with Biden no longer seeking reelection, leading some GOP lawmakers to suggest it is less politically charged.
