Explained | Why is Joe Biden facing impeachment inquiry? Will he be ousted?

The Hindu  

The story so far: As the 2024 US presidential campaign hots up, incumbent President Joe Biden is facing an impeachment ‘inquiry’ initiated by US Speaker Kevin McCarthy for allegedly profiting from his son Hunter Biden’s foreign business ventures while he was the US Vice-President from 2009 to 2017. On September 12, Mr. McCarthy called for an impeachment inquiry into Mr. Biden, directing the three House Committees to open an official probe into Mr. Biden’s involvement in Hunter Biden’s business. The report also talks about Mr. Biden’s son Hunter Biden and one Devon Archer joining Ukranian energy company Burisma in 2014. The three ongoing investigations into Mr. Biden by the House panels cited several instances of foreign nationals meeting Hunter Biden and Mr. Biden when he was Vice-President. The claim that Mr. Biden was seeking ouster of Ukraine’s top prosecutor, first cited in then-US President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial in 2019, was later refuted post an investigation by Senate Republicans.
