House to vote on formalizing Biden impeachment inquiry today
CBSN
Washington — The House is set to vote on formalizing the Republican-led impeachment inquiry into President Biden on Wednesday, a move that could give them more legal firepower to investigate his family's business dealings.
The vote will put Republicans in districts that Mr. Biden won in 2020 on the record about whether they support an investigation that has so far uncovered no wrongdoing by the president. GOP leaders can only afford to lose a handful of members if Wednesday's vote is to succeed.
Republicans on the House Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means Committees have been trying to show for months that Mr. Biden was enriched by his family's foreign business dealings and accepted bribes. But the full House never voted to open an impeachment probe, leading many Democrats to question its legal authority.
