The Republican-controlled US House of Representatives voted to initiate a formal impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden, centered on his son Hunter's international dealings. Allegations of influence-peddling during Hunter's business ventures in Ukraine and China are at the core, though no evidence has been presented. The party-line vote of 221 to 212 sets the stage for a politically charged platform for Republicans, aiming to impact Biden's 2024 reelection campaign. Biden denounced the move as a "baseless political stunt," emphasizing Republicans' failure to address pressing issues. The inquiry, if pursued, faces challenges in a Democrat-controlled Senate.
