Speaker Kevin McCarthy has unilaterally announced an impeachment inquiry into President Biden with no formal House vote, entwining a Republican investigation into Biden and his family with the funding fight that is rattling the Capitol.
The move appeared to clear the way for House investigators to issue subpoenas for the bank records of Biden and his family members.
McCarthy said he would task three committees with carrying out the inquiry as Republicans hunt for evidence of financial wrongdoing or corruption.
After months of digging, Republicans have found no such proof, though they argue they have enough information to warrant more investigation.
