Republicans have yet to uncover evidence of wrongdoing by US President Biden after months of initial investigations that have produced thousands of pages of financial records.

"What were the Bidens selling to make all this money? Joe Biden himself," House Oversight Committee chair James Comer said. George Washington University professor Jonathan Turley and forensic accountant Bruce Dubinsky said the panel had enough evidence to open an impeachment inquiry but did not have enough evidence to justify impeachment charges.

It is unclear if House Republicans, who have a narrow 221-212 majority, would have the votes at the end of the inquiry to support actual impeachment. But even if that vote succeeded, it is highly unlikely that the Senate, where Democrats hold a 51-49 majority, would vote to remove Biden from office.
