Staff Reports
The Biden administration is once again under scrutiny, as a newly released report from three Republican-led House committees claims to have uncovered a veritable treasure trove of impeachable offenses. According to the findings of a nearly yearlong investigation, President Biden has been painted as a puppet-master, helping his family reel in millions from foreign business dealings while allegedly conspiring to cover up the whole sordid affair. This latest effort is just another reminder of the tangled web of interests that the “big guy” has with his family’s less-than-ethical money-making schemes, which date back to his days as vice president.
Released just hours before Biden was set to bask in the limelight at the Democratic National Convention, the 291-page report seems to rain on the parade of the party. While the evidence claims to show a pattern of corrupt conduct, it appears the Republican-led House is unlikely to proceed with impeachment, perhaps sensing that Biden won’t be running for a second term anyway—a curious case of political timing if there ever was one.
House finds Biden used office to enrich family, conceal evidence.
Why did the House GOP release this in August when no one is paying attention?

The report outlines a cavalcade of evidence from over a dozen witnesses and a mountain of banking records, suggesting that Biden’s family, particularly Hunter, pocketed a whopping $18 million from various countries including Ukraine, China, and Russia. Reports indicate that Biden established himself as a master facilitator, dropping in on dinners, making casual phone calls, and gracefully turning his head while his son executed multimillion-dollar deals. If these allegations hold any truth, it seems that “keeping it in the family” took on a whole new meaning during Biden’s administration.
In addition to Biden’s supposed indirect involvement, the report accuses him of playing an active role in assisting Hunter Biden’s various business ventures that raised eyebrows from both sides of the aisle. A call to a business luncheon with a Russian magnate led to pledges of investment that would make any Wall Street broker green with envy. It appears that Biden’s mere presence—and in some cases, a few well-placed words—was enough to boost Hunter’s standing among foreign investors eager to do business in the U.S.
But the investigation hasn’t merely skimmed the surface; it has also dug up allegations that point to Biden’s actions potentially shielding his son from legal repercussions for a range of criminal activities. Whistleblower reports indicate that the Justice Department gave Hunter special treatment and stalled investigations into serious allegations like tax fraud, resulting in the unfortunate fading away of charges that might have otherwise concluded in court. It seems that the Biden name might have been as effective a get-out-of-jail-free card as any the Monopoly game has ever offered.
While the report presents a damning picture of the administration, House Democrats decry it as a mere political weapon, ready to distract from real issues. They clearly have invested a lot in dismissing the findings, preferring instead to label the whole investigation as a witch hunt. But the question looms large—how much longer can Biden fend off these surfacing allegations, and at what point does political theater morph into a reality check for a leader already facing significant hurdles? It remains to be seen whether this is just the beginning of a chaotic run to the finish of Biden’s presidency, or simply a flash in the pan on the grand stage of American politics.
