WASHINGTON — On Wednesday, Rep. Jim Banks voted in favor of House Representatives Resolution 918, which would formalize the ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
The legislation directs the House Committees on Oversight and Accountability, Ways and Means, and the Judiciary to continue investigating whether sufficient grounds exist for the House to impeach President Biden. The resolution establishes procedures for carrying out impeachment hearings in each committee.
“We know for a fact that Joe Biden lied to the American people when he said his son ‘never made money in China’ during the 2020 debate and again when he claimed he never discussed business with his son. Because of House Republicans’ investigations, we found Joe Biden met with Hunter’s clients on multiple occasions while he was Vice President. Hunter called Joe Biden on speakerphone with business associates more than 20 times to showcase his direct access to the Vice President. Further, we learned Hunter Biden received over $250,000 in money wired from China to Joe Biden’s home address in Delaware. These facts, along with the discovery of over a dozen shell companies connected to the Biden family created during his Vice Presidency and additional supporting evidence that Joe and Hunter Biden colluded to ‘sell the Biden brand’ overseas, are more than enough to satisfy the legal requirements to launch a formal impeachment inquiry,” said Rep. Banks:
“For months, the White House has refused to cooperate with our investigation, and this resolution is an important step toward holding them accountable. Today, Hunter Biden disregarded a lawful subpoena to appear for a deposition. Donald Trump Jr. wasn’t even accused of wrongdoing but sat for five interviews under the Democrat majority. Once again, the Biden family thinks they are above the law.
“This is not political and has nothing to do with Hunter Biden’s struggle with addiction or his vices. This is about the President of the United States potentially being compromised by foreign adversaries. House Republicans will continue to follow the money trail that leads from countries like Russia and China directly back to the Biden family.”
