US House Republicans release impeachment report on President Joe Biden

Republicans in the United States House of Representatives have released a report alleging Democratic President Joe Biden committed impeachable offences, but it is unclear whether they would push for a vote following a probe that the White House has long dismissed as politically motivated.

A 291-page report by three House committees alleged that Biden profited from an influence-peddling scheme to enrich himself and members of his family through foreign business dealings beginning in 2014 when Biden was vice president.

Jim Jordan, head of the Judiciary Committee, said the investigation showed “conclusively” that Biden had “abused his public office for the private financial benefit of the Biden family and Biden business associates.”

“President Biden’s legacy is marked by abuse of public office, corruption and obstruction. The evidence produced by our impeachment inquiry is the strongest case for impeachment of a sitting president the House of Representatives has ever investigated,” said James Comer, head of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.

But the nearly yearlong inquiry released by the Republicans on Monday, stops short of alleging any criminal wrongdoing by the president, who decided last month not to run for re-election this year.
