The GOP-led House passed an impeachment inquiry resolution against President Biden Wednesday on the House floor.

The final vote was 221-212.

House Republican leaders have said the Biden Administration and Hunter Biden himself are refusing to cooperate with their investigation into the Biden family's foreign business dealings.

“This vote will allow the House Judiciary, Oversight and Ways and Means committees to continue their investigations. The evidence mounting against the president cannot be ignored,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer told reporters on Wednesday.

“We know Joe Biden has lied to or misled the American people about his knowledge of his son's business dealings over and over again, and it is very likely that he was involved in and benefited from his family's corrupt business dealings as well,” he added.

Hunter Biden came to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to make a public statement critical of the investigation into his foreign business deals. He did not show up for a private deposition.
