The House will move quickly to open its impeachment inquiry into corruption allegations against President Biden, lawmakers said Wednesday, announcing two crucial hearings this month and plans to seize Biden family financial records in their quest to determine whether Mr. Biden engaged in influence peddling when he was vice president.
A day after Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced the House impeachment investigation, House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer said his committee, which is leading the inquiry, will hold a September hearing that lays out evidence showing Mr. Biden engaged in an unlawful scheme to enrich his family.
