Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, has been accused of accepting millions in dollars in bribe from Ukrainian energy company Burisma during his time at the board of directors of the company.
US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said on Tuesday that he is launching an impeachment inquiry into US President Joe Biden in order to enable lawmakers to further investigate alleged criminal activity by the Biden family.

"I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. Over the past several months, House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct – a culture of corruption," McCarthy said in a statement.

An impeachment inquiry will give House committees more power to gather facts, McCarthy said. The inquiry will be led by Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith.
Biden and his team should fully cooperate with the probe in the interest of transparency, McCarthy added.
