The Republican leader of the US House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, supports investigations into possible impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden. There are credible allegations that Biden was involved in his son’s illegal business dealings, McCarthy said Tuesday in Washington.
“These are allegations of abuse of power, cover-up and corruption and deserve further investigation,” McCarthy said.
The Republican now wants to obtain the support of the majority of members of his party in the House of Representatives to begin the investigation. It remains to be seen whether this will happen and whether the impeachment process can be opened in a new stage.
The other chamber of Congress, the Senate, would have to decide on a possible impeachment of the president anyway. Biden’s Democrats have a narrow majority there. The possibility of the president being found guilty and removed from office has so far been ruled out.
