Apart from giving the GOP investigators more power to acquire bank statements and other documents that could further prove possible financial links Joe had with his son, the impeachment process could also see the younger Biden eventually hauled in front of Congress to testify under oath. As a response, the White House has said there is no basis for an investigation and condemned the announcement, with spokesman Ian Sams calling it "extreme politics at its worst." Biden even mocked the Republicans over the possibility of an impeachment inquiry but his team actually already established a war room with two dozen lawyers, legislative aides and communications staffers in case the proceedings push through. (Related: White House builds defense team for expected GOP impeachment inquiry against Biden.) Meanwhile, the House speaker is already facing resistance to the impeachment inquiry idea from several moderates. Democrats are expected to oppose the effort, but there are also right-wingers who are also against it. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), who represents a district Biden won in 2020, has been speaking out against the impeachment inquiry for weeks already. "I think an inquiry should be based on evidence of a crime that points directly to President Biden, or if the President doesn't cooperate by not providing documents," he said on Tuesday. "There's clearly corruption with Hunter using his dad's name to earn tens of millions of dollars. But impeachment needs to be about the dad, not the son. Many of us don't want to see impeachment become something that is commonly used against every president." Moreover, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) told Fox News in an interview last week "We're not there yet" when asked how he would vote on a measure to launch an impeachment inquiry. The same goes for Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus. Meanwhile, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said she will not vote to fund the government unless the House votes to open an impeachment inquiry into Biden.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. https://t.co/3uoDlUB3Sy
