Biden Dismisses Impeachment Inquiry as a 'Baseless Political Stunt'
Washington, D.C. - Tensions flared in Congress on Wednesday evening when the Republican-led House of Representatives approved a formal impeachment inquiry targeting President Joe Biden. The investigation centers on the business dealings of the president's son, Hunter Biden, and his controversial ties abroad.
In a strictly partisan vote, Republicans endorsed the investigative proceedings, despite vigorous objections from Democrats who condemned the move as an unfounded partisan attack lacking merit.
In swift response to the developments, President Biden swiftly denounced the impeachment inquiry as a "baseless political stunt" driven by motives unrelated to facts.
"Rather than addressing urgent matters requiring Congressional action, Republicans have chosen to squander time on an unsupported partisan maneuver, even admitting it lacks substantial evidence," Biden declared in a passionate statement issued minutes after the polarized vote.
With Democrats maintaining control of the Senate, the likelihood of a successful impeachment remains slim. However, the inquiry could pose a significant challenge for Biden as he navigates a reelection bid for 2024 amidst escalating partisan tensions.
