House Republicans are kicking off an impeachment inquiry into allegations of corruption against President Biden that are so far not corroborated. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy says this process is an investigation into whether there was in fact any wrongdoing on Biden's part. McCarthy's approach makes this impeachment inquiry distinct from probes into previous presidents, where there had been some credible evidence of wrongdoing from the outset.
The first hearing in the inquiry is scheduled for Thursday, held by the House Oversight Committee. The hearing sets out to explain "the basis for an impeachment inquiry" into the president.
