WASHINGTON—Today, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, Committee on the Judiciary, and Committee on Ways and Means released a report on the impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden, finding he committed impeachable offenses. The report details evidence to establish President Biden abused his office and violated his oaths of office as Vice President by engaging in a conspiracy to peddle influence to enrich his family. As President, Joe Biden and the Biden-Harris Administration obstructed the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry and the criminal investigation of President Biden’s son.

“President Biden’s legacy is marked by abuse of public office, corruption, and obstruction. The evidence produced by our impeachment inquiry is the strongest case for impeachment of a sitting president the House of Representatives has ever investigated. Americans now know Joe Biden was ‘the brand’ the Bidens sold around the world to enrich the Biden family, and Joe Biden knew of, benefitted from, and participated in his family’s influence peddling schemes. The entire Biden influence peddling model relied on Joe Biden’s presence—at meetings, on the phone, or at dinners—to demonstrate his family members’ influence over him, and he repeatedly provided it. Throughout our impeachment inquiry of President Biden, the Biden-Harris Administration has sought to obstruct us every step of the way. Despite this obstruction, we have exposed the truth to the American people, and they now know the extent of President Biden’s corruption,” said House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.).

“Our impeachment inquiry shows conclusively that Joe Biden abused his public office for the private financial benefit of the Biden family and Biden business associates. The facts speak for themselves, and Democrats can no longer stretch the truth to cover for President Biden. As Democrats celebrate Joe Biden and crown Kamala Harris as his heir apparent this week, Americans should remember the reality of the Biden-Harris Administration: crime, chaos, and corruption,” said House Committee on Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).

“The Biden-Harris Administration has lied to the American people time and again to cover up and obstruct investigations into tax crimes committed by a Biden family business enterprise that capitalized on political power. The American people have been shocked to learn about a scheme going back to when Joe Biden was Vice President when family members used Air Force Two as their own private business jet. None of this would have come to light without two IRS whistleblowers who were tired of watching their investigation into Hunter become obstructed. Their testimony has stood up under scrutiny at every step,” said House Committee on Ways and Means Jason Smith (R-Mo.).

Below are key findings from the impeachment inquiry report:

From 2014 onwards as part of a conspiracy to monetize Joe Biden’s office for personal gain:

- Over $27 million received from foreign individuals or entities.
