Republicans accuse Biden of ‘impeachable conduct’ in report — but don’t offer any proof

Three Republican-controlled House committees accused President Joe Biden of engaging in “impeachable conduct,” stating there is “overwhelming evidence” to support it, but admitted they have no evidence to prove that the president committed a crime.

Republicans on the House Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways and Means Committees released a 291-page report on Monday accusing Biden of abuse of power and obstruction of justice.

The report claims Biden, as vice president, “abused” his office to enrich his family in connection with his son Hunter’s foreign business dealings and mishandled classified information.

“The totality of the corrupt conduct uncovered by the Committees is egregious. President Joe Biden conspired to commit influence peddling and grift. In doing so, he abused his office and, by repeatedly lying about his abuse of office, has defrauded the United States to enrich his family,” the report states.

House Republicans also accused the White House of interfering with the investigation into Hunter Biden by instructing witnesses to not cooperate or to comply with subpoenas.

However, in each of these circumstances, the House committees said they did not need to have direct proof that he committed these alleged impeachable acts.

Regarding the abuse of power allegation, the report says: “It is not necessary for the House of Representatives to show that the dealings involved a quid pro quo to rise to the level of an impeachable offense.”

The report also suggests that the House panels do not need to show that Biden accepted a bribe or committed a crime to show his “abuse of power”, but instead, argued that it is only necessary to show that Biden was “aware” of the scheme and participated in it. The House Republicans
