A leading House Republican announced on Monday the GOP majority is poised to authorize a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden after claiming to have found enough evidence to warrant corruption charges.

“House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan briefed reporters on Capitol Hill on Monday on elements of the Republican case against Biden,” NPR reported. “Jordan said he hoped the House would vote ‘as soon as possible’ and possibly as early as this week. The move comes as key committee chairs continue to negotiate with witnesses they believe can help develop a case for corruption charges against Biden.”

During a press conference, Jordan said: “We think it’s helpful to have that vote because we do think that someone will take us to court. Constitutionally it’s not required.”

But, he added: “If you have a vote of the full House of Representatives and a majority say we are in that official status as part of our overall oversight work, our Constitutional oversight duty that we have, it just helps us in court.”

The Ohio Republican continued, stating that Republicans have not finalized the charges they intend to bring against Biden in the event that a vote to proceed with the inquiry advances. Additionally, he said he hoped to have approximately 10 more individuals appear before his committee over the next six to seven weeks.

Those witnesses will include Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s brother James Biden, some Biden business associations, tax attorneys at the Justice Department who were involved in reviewing the investigation into Hunter’s tax filings over the years, and other officials who previously discussed whether or not to charge Hunter, as well as the cases they were building against him, NPR reported.

Jordan then discussed what he characterized as a pattern of corruption that likely initiated around 2015 when Hunter was approached about joining the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

“We don’t know that there are going to be articles yet, but I think the case is pretty compelling,” Jordan said, noting that possible charges against the president could include bribery, abuse of power, and obstruction. However, he said, “we’ll look at all the facts and make a decision,” adding that the situation with Biden mirrors Democrat charges against then-President Donald Trump in 2019.
