In the latest political developments this week, House Republicans have formalized their impeachment inquiry into President Biden, marking the continuation of a trend that has seen the process take center stage in recent years. Significantly, this comes as no evidence of wrongdoing has been found by the GOP investigation into Hunter Biden's business dealings.
The president's son made a public statement his week, the first since being criminally indicted, in which he defended his father adamantly. He stated that his father was not financially involved in any aspect of his business, either as a board member of Burisma, in his partnership with a Chinese private businessman, his investments, or his art.
Despite the lack of substantial evidence so far linking Joe Biden to his son's business dealings, Republican Congressman Tim Burchett has revealed he is waiting to see all the evidence before making a decision on whether to vote in favor of impeachment. Burchett, who serves on the House Oversight Committee, leading the investigation into President Biden, stated that they need to see whether the senior Biden’s actions while he was Vice-President still carry relevance or influence now that he is President.

Burchett referenced the evidence obtained by Republicans using their subpoena powers—36,000 pages of bank records, 2,000 pages from the Treasury Department detailing suspicious activity, and dozens of hours of testimony from individuals previously connected with Hunter Biden.
Yet despite the volume of documents and testimonies collected, Senator Chuck Grassley, who has played a critical role in the investigation, reports that he has seen no evidence of Joe Biden having any direct involvement with his son's business activities. It remains to be seen whether any new revelations will come to light during the remainder of the inquiry process.
Hunter Biden has offered to testify publicly in order to avoid having his words twisted or misinterpreted. The offer has been met without objection from Burchett, who stated he is happy for Biden to testify in any environment, as long as he either tells the truth or pleads the fifth amendment. It is yet to be seen how this inquiry will evolve, and whether any substantial evidence will come forth linking President Biden with his son's business dealings.
