The inquiry, which was launched without a vote in September by Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), then serving as speaker, has so far failed to prove the GOP’s claim that Biden benefited financially from his son’s foreign investment deals.

The impeachment inquiry into President Biden has the probability of becoming a distraction, with little to no evidence of wrongdoing the GOP will end it without an impeachment vote. The goal is probably not an impeachment but an attempt to muddy the waters and imply there is wrongdoing to the American public. Biden will be read as less of a foil to the malfeasance of former President Trump as a result.
