The House of Representatives has approved an official impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. This allows the committee chairmen to compel interviews, obtain documents, and more.
The vote broke down along party lines, with 221 Republicans in favor of the inquiry and 212 Democrats against.
From The New York Post:
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) told The Post that the White House had forced Republicans to put the resolution up for a vote after “blocking witnesses from testifying” and “withholding thousands of documents,” including emails Biden traded with his son and his son’s business partners while he was vice president, which are held at the National Archives.
The White House told Republicans that it was “not going to acknowledge or … recognize these subpoenas as valid without a full vote of the House,” Emmer said. “[Speaker] Mike Johnson, when faced with that said, ‘All right, well, we’re gonna have to go to court to get these enforced anyway, might as well eliminate any objection that they have before we get there.”
“For the president who says he’s the most transparent president in the history of this country, he’s set a poor example — and he sure is stonewalling,” added Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC).
