The hearing will begin at 10:00 am EST on Capitol Hill and feature three witnesses, including former US Assistant Attorney General for the US Justice Department Tax Division Eileen O'Connor, George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turley, and forensic accountant Bruce Dubinsky. The impeachment inquiry, announced on September 12 by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, will build on previous House committee investigations into the Biden family. The House Oversight Committee has been investigating alleged foreign bribery and influence peddling involving the Biden family and entities in countries including Ukraine and China. Biden denies ever having discussed foreign business affairs with his son. On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee, citing bank records, revealed that Hunter Biden in 2019 received two payments wired from China totaling $260,000 with President Joe Biden's Delaware home listed as the beneficiary address. The impeachment inquiry is being led by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, and House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith. The committee has requested unredacted emails from the National Archives in which Biden allegedly used a pseudonym. The panel also hopes to get additional bank account records from the Biden family. US lawmakers also seek to interview witnesses who may have knowledge of alleged corrupt business deals involving the Biden family. Impeachment Unlikely Despite Evidence Earlier this month, former US Justice Department officials told Sputnik that House Republicans are unlikely to have enough evidence to impeach Joe Biden but it will be important for the US public to better understand concerns over his alleged role in Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings. Sievert explained that there is plenty of evidence to open an impeachment inquiry to examine why millions of dollars were sent to his family and concealed with shell corporations. Sievert added that the impeachment inquiry may also allow for an examination into how much money may have allegedly been funneled to Joe Biden by his son. Former US Justice Department official and Stanford law professor Pamela Karlan also told Sputnik there is not enough evidence at the moment to impeach the US president. Biggs said he believes Republicans can show that Joe Biden was heavily involved in Hunter Biden's business dealings. However, he accused the Justice Department, including the FBI, of obstructing the congressional investigations into the Biden family.

US House Oversight Committee Holds First Hearing in Biden Impeachment Inquiry
09:51 28.09.2023 (Updated: 07:44 29.09.2023) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The House Oversight Committee will hold the first hearing of the impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden on Thursday to begin further examining alleged criminal activity involving Hunter Biden and his foreign business dealings.
The hearing will begin at 10:00 am EST on Capitol Hill and feature three witnesses, including former US Assistant Attorney General for the US Justice Department Tax Division Eileen O'Connor, George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turley, and forensic accountant Bruce Dubinsky.
The impeachment inquiry, announced on September 12 by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, will build on previous House committee investigations into the Biden family.
The House Oversight Committee has been investigating alleged foreign bribery and influence peddling involving the
Biden family and entities in countries including Ukraine and China. Biden denies ever having discussed foreign business affairs with his son.
On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee, citing bank records, revealed that Hunter Biden in 2019 received two payments wired from China totaling $260,000 with President Joe Biden's Delaware home listed as the beneficiary address.
McCarthy, in light of the new findings, said the Republican impeachment inquiry against Biden will uncover the whole truth.
The impeachment inquiry is being led by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, and House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith.
The committee has requested unredacted emails from the National Archives in which Biden allegedly used a pseudonym. The panel also hopes to get additional bank account records from the Biden family.
US lawmakers also seek to interview witnesses who may have knowledge of alleged corrupt business deals involving the Biden family.
Impeachment Unlikely Despite Evidence
Earlier this month, former US Justice Department officials told Sputnik that House Republicans are unlikely to have enough evidence to impeach Joe Biden but it will be important for the US public to better understand concerns over his alleged role in Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings.
"I think at this point actual impeachment is unlikely but it is important for the public to understand what was going on through payments to his son by foreign entities," former US Justice Department prosecutor Ronald Sievert told Sputnik. "Finding that a politician's specific decision was solely because of money going to relative or campaign is always difficult regardless of logical suspicions."
Sievert explained that there is plenty of evidence to open an impeachment inquiry to examine why millions of dollars were sent to his family and concealed with shell corporations.
Sievert added that the impeachment inquiry
may also allow for an examination into how much money may have allegedly been funneled to Joe Biden by his son.
Former US Justice Department official and Stanford law professor Pamela Karlan also told
Sputnik there is not
enough evidence at the moment to impeach the US president.
Republican Congressman Andy Biggs in an interview with Fox News said they have "already discovered gold" in their investigations into the Biden family. He also hopes Hunter Biden will eventually be subpoenaed during the impeachment inquiry.
Biggs said he believes Republicans can show that Joe Biden was heavily involved in Hunter Biden's business dealings. However, he accused the Justice Department, including the FBI, of obstructing the congressional investigations into the Biden family.
