Republicans’ thin corruption case against Joe Biden, explained

Kris Connor/WireImageThe House is voting on an impeachment inquiry. But they’ve turned up little so far. Whatever you may think about the impeachments of Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, they were at least impeached for things they verifiably did. But Joe Biden may become the first president to be impeached entirely because of an unproven theory. The House of Representatives plans to vote Wednesday to officially authorize an impeachment inquiry... Read more ›
