House Republican leaders are planning to hold a formal vote next week to initiate an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. This decision comes after House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer released bank records showing that an entity owned by Hunter Biden made direct monthly payments to Joe Biden. However, the White House has denied any wrongdoing by President Biden and stated that he had no knowledge of these transactions.

The impeachment inquiry was initially opened by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy without a vote, drawing comparisons to the impeachment inquiry into former President Donald Trump in 2019. Current House Speaker Mike Johnson believes that this is a constitutional decision rather than a political one. He also accused the White House of stonewalling the investigation and refusing to turn over key witnesses and documents.

Despite the impending vote, it's important to note that even if the House were to vote to impeach Biden, the Democratic-controlled Senate would not vote to remove him from office. The real risk of a House impeachment is that it could distract the White House and put the president on the defense ahead of an election year. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan is leading the effort and hopes for a vote as early as this week.

The investigation has revealed wire transactions between Hunter Biden's law firm and a consulting firm linked to President Biden's brother, James Biden. House Republicans claim that these funds were used to cut a check to Joe Biden labeled as a loan repayment. However, these allegations are yet to be substantiated with concrete evidence.
