House Rules Committee votes in favor of sending impeachment inquiry against Biden to House floor

The GOP-led House Rules Committee voted 9-4 on Tuesday to send the impeachment inquiry resolution against President Biden to the House floor. 

The vote came after a meeting where members of the committee debated the resolution.

The formal floor vote on the impeachment inquiry is scheduled for Wednesday.

The resolution directs the relevant House committees to "continue their ongoing investigations as part of the existing House of Representatives inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its Constitutional power to impeach Joseph Biden, President of the United States of America, and for other purposes."

The House committees Oversight and Accountability, Ways and Means, and Judiciary have been investigating President Biden's potential role in his family members' foreign business dealings, including his son Hunter and brother James.
