Since the start of 2023, Republicans have been investigating Joe Biden over his alleged connections to his son Hunter's extremely lucrative multi-million dollar influence peddling scheme spanning decades.
In December, Republicans voted to formalize their ongoing impeachment inquiry because they believe it will force the administration to turn over documents and provide witness testimony after months of stonewalling.
They are working toward building up enough evidence to show Joe was involved in Hunter's dealings in order to hold a formal impeachment vote in the House in 2024.
GOP investigators are also examining how the Biden Justice Department has allegedly slow walked the criminal investigation into Hunter for tax evasion and gun crimes.
While President Biden has maintained his innocence, saying he has never been involved in his son's shady business dealings, Republicans say the White House's recent flip flops on their official statements pushing back on the 'political' GOP-led probe is a sign they are scrambling.
The White House's shifting defense started with Joe had 'never discussed' and had no knowledge of Hunter's business dealings. It has since evolved into the president had never been 'in business' or 'financially involved' with his son.
In September, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy unilaterally launched an impeachment inquiry over the Biden family's 'culture of corruption' that he said could take down President Biden's political career.
Since then, the House Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means Committees have issued subpoenas to the top players involved including Hunter Biden, James Biden and other family members, donors and business associates.
But how did Hunter get his hands on a 2.8-carat diamond from the Chinese, $83,000 a month from Ukrainians and $1 million from mysterious Romanians?
By trading in on the Biden family's influential 'brand,' the GOP claims.

Hunter was Joe’s bagman. Nobody in their right mind would give any money to Hunter otherwise.
Republicans taking their time to impeach Joe. His term is almost up and a lot of damage has been done. Now they talk impeachment.
Impeach his ass for the border alone
The Republicans are stupid. The Democrats are superior when it comes to politics.
Maybe, getting all of his corruption out in the open, right before the election is the best we can hope for.

He should have been impeached for today’s spy balloon conspiracy, alone.
Correction - The Republicans are complicit.
Are you sure the “big guy” during the Obama administration was Joe Biden?
Did Joe Biden buy or build 3 mansions with total value of $35-$40 million after he left the Vice Presidency?
This is an absurd waste of time which will only help the Newsom campaign.
This is a mistake - though this corrupt sack of Shiite deserves not just impeachment and conviction, but jail time. Why? Because we should WANT Biden to be the Dem candidate. He’s the weakest candidate by far, with a disastrous record, corruption allegations and mental health issues galore. But impeach him and TPTB in the Dem party will have an excuse to force him out for someone with less baggage. Oh, and if he strokes out or dies after being impeached, he’ll be a martyr and the Republicans will be blamed.
Sometimes, just leaving well enough alone is the best policy.
Never has a President deserved impeachment more.... BUT!
One thing we have learned over the past 20 years is, Impeachment is a POLITCAL process, and... if the ‘King’ is not deposed, the process BENEFITS him.
No matter the quality of the evidence, Biden will NOT be removed. Democrats in the Senate will NEVER vote against him.
Develop all the evidence. Make it apparent to the people. But, do NOT go down the dead end path of formal impeachment. It will do nothing but help the criminals.
Sinema, Manchin and now, probably Fetterman (LOL) will vote to convict. So that's 53 in the Senate.
“ Democrats in the Senate will NEVER vote against him.”
And how many Republicans will? 5?
OK, you named 3 votes to convict.
Where are your other 50 coming from?
The GOP.
I’m betting against Cassidy, Collins, Murkowski, Romney, maybe even McConnell.
Then you need 12 Rats.
“ The GOP”
Dream on.
If 5 GOP Senators voted to remove Biden from office I would be shocked. 2-3, maybe.
Instead of 53, it will be 49. McConnell will vote to convict. He’s annoying but usually he’s solid when it comes to major issues.
