In September 2023 House Speaker Kevin McCarthy greenlit impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden. Among the allegations against President Biden are that he helped his embattled son Hunter Biden make millions of dollars while representing overseas companies by appearing at dozens of meetings with company executives to curry favors, including those with Burisma and a venture capital firm connected to the Chinese communist government. As a result of his alleged participation, members of his family have profited off the Biden name to the tune of millions of dollars. The allegations have “consumed” the president, according to those close to him.
