House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced today that he is directing House committees to open an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. The inquiry will center on whether Biden benefited from his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings, among other issues.
Here’s what we know so far:
- House Republicans have not put forth evidence directly showing President Biden benefited from his son’s business dealings.
- McCarthy said the impeachment inquiry will be led by House Oversight Chairman James Comer, Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith.
- The inquiry is being launched amid pressure from some hard-right members of the Republican caucus.
- It is not clear whether Republicans have the necessary votes to pass an impeachment inquiry vote in the House.
- Some Republican lawmakers are staunchly against it.
- McCarthy and many House Republicans fiercely criticized then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for opening the first impeachment inquiry into President Trump without a full House vote.
Whether the move is based upon legitimate concerns or is just a tit-for-tat move by Republicans for the impeachment hearings and subsequent indictments of Trump remains to be seen, but we thought we’d ask artificial intelligence about it. Here’s what Google Bard had to say:
“In terms of the politics around impeachment proceedings, it is worth noting that this is the first time that a House Speaker has directed committees to open an impeachment inquiry into a sitting president from their own party. This is a significant development, and it is likely to be met with strong opposition from Democrats.
“It is also worth noting that this move comes just weeks after President Biden was inaugurated. This suggests that Republicans are eager to start investigating Biden and his family, even though there is no evidence of wrongdoing. This could be seen as a partisan attack, and it is likely to further divide the country.
“Only time will tell whether this impeachment inquiry will lead to anything. However, it is clear that this is a major development in American politics, and it is one that is likely to be closely watched by the world.”
