5 things to know about Biden's impeachment inquiry
The inquiry will look into Biden's involvement with his family's business dealings
House Resolution 918 follows Tuesday's publication of House Report 118-314, which outlines the justification for opening an impeachment inquiry.
As stated in the report, "On September 12, 2023, the Speaker of the House directed the Committees on the Judiciary, Ways and Means, and Oversight and Accountability to conduct an inquiry to determine whether sufficient grounds existed for the impeachment of President Biden."
Two weeks later, on Sept. 27, the chairs of the three committees released a memorandum titled "Impeachment Inquiry." The memorandum detailed how, following several months of investigations, the committees found that "the Biden family and their business associates received over $24 million from foreign sources over the course of approximately five years" from 2014-2019.

The investigations also found that "President Biden was personally involved in his family's foreign business dealings, and those business arrangements intersected with his official duties" as vice president, in addition to determining that "the President has not been truthful about his family's foreign business entanglements."
"The Chairs also stated that they had uncovered substantial information, including through whistleblowers, indicating that the Biden Administration has obstructed the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden," the report added.
"This information includes evidence that Department of Justice personnel blocked avenues of inquiry that could have led to evidence incriminating President Biden and impeded efforts to prosecute Hunter Biden for tax crimes relating to foreign business arrangements that could have implicated President Biden."
According to the report, evidence compiled by the committees included "information indicating that President Biden may have: (1) performed official acts or changed United States policy as a direct result of the foreign money received by his family; (2) provided access to his federal office in exchange for his family's receipt of foreign money; and/or (3) knowingly participated in a scheme where foreign business interests were led to believe that they would gain access to him (in his official capacity) if they were to pay substantial amounts of money to his family."
