House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday announced he is directing a trio of House committees to open an impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
Why it matters: The unilateral move is an apparent reversal of McCarthy’s previous statement that a House vote would be held to launch such a probe.
- It’s an escalation of the House Oversight and Judiciary Committee investigations into the business dealings of Biden’s son, Hunter.
- Launching a formal probe gives Republicans added subpoena powers, McCarthy said in August.
