On September 12, 2023, Kevin McCarthy, the speaker of the United States House of Representatives, announced an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. The inquiry will be conducted by the House's Judiciary Committee, Oversight Committee and Ways and Means Committee. James Comer, chairman of the Oversight committee, will lead the investigation.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy initiated the inquiry saying that recent House investigations "paint a picture of corruption" by Biden and his family.[1][2][3][4] No Congressional investigations have discovered any evidence of wrongdoing by Biden.[a]

Background

Main article: Efforts to impeach Joe Biden

Multiple pundits opined that, due to the two impeachments that former president Donald Trump faced in his presidency, many Republicans had a desire to exact revenge on Democrats by impeaching a Democratic president.[b] Several Republican members of the House of Representatives and Senate have made comments to this effect.[14][15] Following Joe Biden's inauguration, various Republican members of Congress have engaged in several efforts to impeach him. The first of these articles of impeachment was filed one day after Biden's inauguration by Marjorie Taylor Greene, citing the Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory.[16] Several political analysts predicted that an impeachment could occur if Republicans secured a majority in the 2022 midterm elections for the 118th Congress.[c]

In the 118th Congress, Republicans were able to hold a majority in the House of Representatives, comprising several members of the Freedom Caucus. Kevin McCarthy, leader of the House Republican Conference, was elected speaker of the House after several days and many votes as opposition—primarily led by members of the Freedom Caucus—mounted against him; as part of negotiations, McCarthy conceded to his opponents[20] and faced pressure from Republican members to either impeach Biden or launch an impeachment inquiry against him.[2] The Fiscal Responsibility Act, an act drafted to resolve the 2023 United States debt-ceiling crisis, weakened McCarthy's standing with members of the Freedom Caucus who opposed his negotiations with Biden.[21]

In June 2023, the House of Representatives voted to begin an investigation into Biden's removal and referred two impeachment articles written by Lauren Boebert to committee. McCarthy privately told his members that he would consider impeachment if the House Oversight Committee investigation into the Biden family produced sufficient evidence.[21] The investigation has not yet provided evidence of wrongdoing by the president.[d] Trump has privately and publicly encouraged impeaching Biden. On Truth Social, he lambasted Democrats for impeaching him amid the Trump–Ukraine scandal. Leading up to the inquiry, Trump met with House Republican Conference chair Elise Stefanik and Greene, discussing impeaching Biden both times.[26] In September, McCarthy promised in an interview with Breitbart News that he would only open an impeachment inquiry into Biden with a full house vote.[27]

Initiation of impeachment inquiry

Announcement by Kevin McCarthy of formal impeachment inquiry, September 12, 2023

On September 12, 2023, Kevin McCarthy directed three House committees—the Judiciary Committee, chaired by Jim Jordan, the Oversight Committee, chaired by James Comer, and the Ways and Means Committee, chaired by Jason Smith—to hold a formal impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden. McCarthy did not hold a floor vote on the impeachment inquiry and he did not appear to have sufficient Republican support to pass a floor vote.[2][28][29] The chairmen of all three committees had been involved in preceding investigations into the Biden family. McCarthy asked Comer to lead the inquiry.[30] Announcing the inquiry, McCarthy claimed that earlier findings of House investigations "paint a picture of corruption" involving Biden and his relatives, particularly regarding the business dealings of his son Hunter.[1]

McCarthy alleged that Joe Biden used his official office as vice president to coordinate with Hunter's business contacts and benefit from Hunter's foreign business dealings.[31] McCarthy argued that the House Oversight Committee investigation into the Biden family demonstrated and warranted further investigation by the House of Representatives and that an impeachment inquiry would allow for a stronger investigation.[32][30] McCarthy also noted that Biden was aware of Hunter's business dealings.[33] McCarthy concluded his allegations by claiming that Biden's family was given "special treatment" by the Biden administration despite these "serious allegations."[34]

According to McCarthy, the impeachment inquiry would give House Republicans "the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the American public". Traditionally, congressional committees are given more sweeping authority to issue and enforce subpoenas when done so as part of an impeachment inquiry. McCarthy has drawn parallels between the Biden and Nixon administrations, accusing the Biden administration of using "government much like Richard Nixon by denying us to get the information that we need".[35]

Despite claiming that he would hold a vote, McCarthy opened the inquiry independently. McCarthy has defended this reversal, claiming that then-speaker Nancy Pelosi "changed the precedent" in launching an impeachment inquiry into Trump in 2019, when Pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry a month before a floor vote was eventually held to approve it.[36] During the 2019 impeachment inquiry against Trump, McCarthy had asserted that he believed that an authorizing vote must be held in order for there to be a legitimate impeachment inquiry.[37]

House committee investigations

After the inquiry announcement, Jim Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, said that he planned to subpoena lawyers in the Justice Department's tax division who worked on the Weiss special counsel investigation into Hunter Biden.[38] Comer said that the House Oversight Committee would hold its first impeachment-related hearing in September. He said that House investigators would seek additional emails dating back to the Obama administration and witness testimony from people alleging misconduct by the Biden family.[39]

Responses

Republican response

Comer and Jordan expressed support for the impeachment inquiry's potential to provide them with expanded investigative powers, with Jordan saying that it would ramp up "the pace at which we’re going to try to get information from the executive branch", as courts may provide more support for investigators' demands for information. Jordan has also said that a vote on the inquiry would be helpful in giving weight to the significance of the impeachment inquiry.[40][38]

Multiple Republican members of Congress, including Shelley Capito, Ken Buck, Dave Joyce, and Don Bacon, have commented that they had not seen evidence to warrant an impeachment inquiry. Some members who have raised concerns about the available evidence support an impeachment inquiry to allow for a complete evidentiary record, including Mitt Romney, Dusty Johnson, and French Hill. Other Republican members of Congress, such as Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis, Marco Rubio, Brian Fitzpatrick, and George Santos, have expressed concerns about "cheapening" and lowering the bar for impeachment.[e]

Democratic response

Biden said that he was not focused on the impeachment inquiry and claimed that Republicans "want to impeach me because they want to shut down the government".[44] The White House also sent a memo to U.S news organizations, calling on them to "scrutinize House Republicans' demonstrably false claims" and disputing allegations of misconduct.[45]

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries vowed to defend Biden "until the very end" and compared the impeachment inquiry to a kangaroo court.[46]

Response by academics

At the launch of the impeachment inquiry, both University of Missouri School of Law professor emeritus Frank Bowman and Columbia Law School professor Philip Bobbitt (both of who have authored texts on impeachment) commented that they had not seen anything they would consider to be evidence against Biden. They both consider this to be a departure from past presidential impeachment inquiries, which they say were preceded significant evidence of wrongdoing by the president. Both have expressed concern that the inquiry will cheapen the concept of impeachment, thereby damaging the federal government's checks and balances. Calling the impeachment inquiry, "absolutely shocking," Bowman remarked that the Republicans behind the impeachment effort, "have no interest at all in preserving the basic integrity of the process, or indeed their own power as legislators in legitimate opposition and tension with the executive branch."[47][48]

Analysis

The impeachment inquiry has been seen by Republican members of Congress and analysts as potentially being an effort by McCarthy to satisfy hardline right-wing members of the House's narrow Republican majority and avoid a motion to vacate the speakership. It comes ahead of tenuous negotiations McCarthy is having with his caucus ahead of the fiscal year deadline to pass appropriations bills and avert a government shutdown. Far-right members of Congress have openly tied impeachment demands to other legislative priorities or threatening to vacate the speakership. In late August, Greene stated, "I will not vote to fund the government unless we have passed an impeachment inquiry." In September, Matt Gaetz said Republicans should be "forcing votes on impeachment. And if Speaker McCarthy stands in our way, he may not have the job long".[f] Within a day of the inquiry announcement, several far-right members of the House had declared that McCarthy's launching of an impeachment inquiry had not placated them into dropping their demands related to the budget or affected their attitudes on a motion to vacate.[53][54]

During his September 12 announcement, McCarthy made several claims to justify initiating the inquiry. He said "a trusted FBI informant has alleged a bribe to the Biden family," though the informant merely relayed information to the FBI that the CEO of Burisma had alleged, and the informant could not vouch for the veracity of the allegation.[55] McCarthy said that bank records showed that "nearly $20 million in payments were directed to the Biden family members and associates through various shell companies," and "more than 150 transactions involving the Biden family and other business associates were flagged as suspicious activity by US banks," though Joe Biden himself was never implicated in the payments and the existence of suspicious activity reports does not alone establish wrongdoing.[55][34] McCarthy also stated that "eyewitnesses have testified that the president joined on multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions, dinners [that] resulted in cars and millions of dollars into his son’s and his son’s business partner's" accounts. However, the testifiers denied that Biden was engaged in business-related discussions.[34]

Legal standing

The House of Representatives is not legally obligated to start an impeachment inquiry with a vote on the House floor, as it is not required under either the Constitution or House rules.[36] However, the Office of Legal Counsel in the Department of Justice ruled in January 2020 that impeachment inquiries are valid only if authorized by the full House, following the impromptu impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump. The opinion remains binding on the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Internal Revenue Service, as all are part of the executive branch. It also binds future presidential administrations unless revoked or superseded.[37] The opinion finds that without a floor vote, subpoenas issued by House committees would lack the weight normally granted when pertaining to an impeachment inquiry.[56]
