House Republicans have released their initial impeachment inquiry report on President Joe Biden, alleging an abuse of power and obstruction of justice in the financial dealings of his son Hunter Biden and family associates.
The nearly year-long investigation by Republicans does not allege any criminal wrongdoing by the president. Instead, the almost 300-page report out Monday, the opening day of the Democratic National Convention, covers familiar ground, asserting the Biden family traded on its "brand" in business ventures in corrupt ways that rise to the Constitution's high bar for impeachment.
With Biden no longer running for re-election, next steps are highly uncertain. House Republicans have not had support from their own ranks to actually impeach the president; removal by the Senate is even further afield. Many Republicans prefer to focus attention on the Democratic Party's presumptive presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, with some probes getting underway.
