'This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the American public,' the speaker said.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday that he is directing House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden, escalating GOP lawmakers' investigations into the president and his family's foreign business dealings.

Despite McCarthy's claims, the investigations mounted by House Republicans into Hunter Biden's conduct have yet to uncover direct evidence of wrongdoing by the president. Mr. Biden has denied any involvement in his son's foreign work, and the White House has said the president is not involved in Hunter Biden's business activities."Taken together, these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption," he said.

"There is not a strong connection at this point between the evidence on Hunter Biden and the evidence connecting the president," BuckBacon told reporters in July that he does not support opening an impeachment inquiry, but added that if after continued investigating,"we ever get to a threshold, or there's more facts that seem clear, then you go to an inquiry."

The White House criticized Gaetz's push for impeachment, saying his comments confirmed that far-right lawmakers are driving the focus on the president and his son.
