Republicans in the House of Representatives have scheduled the first hearing to investigate Biden’s impeachment case on September 28

The hearing — scheduled for September 28 — is expected to focus on “constitutional and legal issues” surrounding allegations of Biden’s involvement in his son Hunter’s overseas businesses, according to a spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee.

Republicans – led by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy – have asserted in recent weeks that Biden’s actions since taking office as vice president show a “culture of corruption.”

The committee also plans to serve subpoenas seeking personal and business banking records for Hunter Biden and the president’s brother, James Biden, “as early as this week.”

“House Republicans have been investigating the president for nine months and have found no evidence of wrongdoing,” White House spokesman Ian Sams said in a recent statement.

McCarthy announced the impeachment inquiry last week after facing mounting pressure from his right flank to take action against Biden or risk being ousted from his leadership position.
