This move, if passed, will strengthen the impeachment committee's subpoena powers and clear some of the roadblocks the White House and Biden's lawyers have tried to put up to attack our democracy and impede justice.

Looks like the main focus will be on Joe Biden's attempts to interfere into the investigations into his son's crimes, in an effort to hide his own involvement in and profits from those crimes.


The House will vote the week of December 10 on formalizing the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden to strengthen subpoena power over the stonewalling Biden administration, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) stated during a Tuesday press conference.

The vote will be a test for House Republicans, who hold a slight majority over House Democrats. The measure will need nearly all Republican support.
  • Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) opened an “impeachment inquiry” on September 12, but lawmakers did not vote to approve the measure.
  • If the impeachment inquiry receives majority support on the House floor, the inquiry will be formally adopted, a status that Johnson says will help the House’s inquiry obtain information blocked by the White House.
“The House has no choice if it’s going to follow its constitutional responsibility to formally adopt an impeachment inquiry on the floor so that when the subpoenas are challenged in court, we will be at the apex of our constitutional authority,” Johnson said.
