The trio of Republican-led committees leading the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden on Monday released a report arguing that the president has “engaged in impeachable conduct” without making a formal recommendation for the House of Representatives to move forward with impeachment. Instead, the 291-page report recycles previous unsupported claims to argue that Biden “knowingly participated” in a conspiracy to leverage his office while as vice president and beyond to financially benefit his family, and leaves it up to the House of Representatives to evaluate. Republicans unveiled the report on the day the Democratic National Convention begins in Chicago, hours before Biden is expected to address the event in a keynote speech. CNN has reached out to the White House for comment on the report and has not yet received a response. The report’s release also comes at a precarious moment for House Republicans. Since Republicans launched their impeachment inquiry into Biden 11 months ago, they have failed to convince their narrow majority to move forward with articles of impeachment. With Biden no longer seeking reelection, and attention on Capitol Hill shifting to the 2024 presidential election, the GOP momentum to continue to use investigative muscle to scrutinize Biden and his family has also dissipated. It will all come down to House Speaker Mike Johnson and whether he decides to try to push through articles of impeachment during the three weeks the House returns to Washington in September while simultaneously addressing the crucial September 30 government funding deadline. “I think it’s kind of a moot point now,” GOP Rep. Lisa McClain of Michigan, who serves on the House Oversight Committee, one of the trio of committees leading the inquiry, told CNN last month.
