In a party-line vote of 221-212, the Republican-led House of Representatives initiates a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, focusing on allegations related to his son Hunter Biden's international business dealings. President Biden condemns the move, calling it a "baseless political stunt" aimed at distracting from pressing issues. The vote ensures a platform for Republicans to target Biden in the lead-up to the 2024 reelection campaign. Despite lacking evidence of corruption by the president, Republicans argue the inquiry's importance and legal standing. Democrats criticize the probe as politically motivated, emphasizing the absence of wrongdoing by Biden.
