Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) cracked the whip on this inquiry, announcing it without a vote. But wait, there’s more! House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is not messing around. He wants the full House to vote on it to authorize the inquiry. That’s right, let the people’s voices be heard! The White House has been hitting back, pointing out the hypocrisy of Republicans who previously criticized Democrats for initiating an impeachment inquiry into former President Donald Trump in 2019 without a vote. Oh, the drama!
It’s a real nail-biter because the resolution’s passage is still up in the air, but things are looking up for the Republicans. Some centrist Republicans, who were on the fence about it before, have had a change of heart and pledge to vote in favor of opening the inquiry. It’s like a political rollercoaster, and everyone’s on the edge of their seats.
The impeachment inquiry is zeroing in on some serious allegations. They’re looking into whether President Biden used his influence to enrich himself and his family, whether he applied pressure to the Department of Justice to help his son Hunter Biden, and just how involved he was in his family’s foreign business dealings. But wait, there’s more! The inquiry is also focusing on an explosive allegation that Joe and Hunter Biden pocketed some major cash from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, and used their influence to pressure the Ukrainian government. Talk about a political thriller!
