Steube (R-Fla.) filed the articles of impeachment against Biden charging that the president had been complicit in Hunter Biden’s alleged crimes and that he had tried to shield his son from justice.
“It’s long past time to impeach Joe Biden,” Steube said. “He has undermined the integrity of his office, brought disrepute on the Presidency, betrayed his trust as President, and acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice at the expense of America’s citizens. The evidence continues to mount by the day – the Biden Crime Family has personally profited off Joe’s government positions through bribery, threats, and fraud. Joe Biden must not be allowed to continue to sit in the White House, selling out our country.”
Stuebe filed four articles of impeachment.
The first article accuses the president of abuse of power by “bribery, Hobbs Act extortion, and honest services fraud.” The charges of the article stem from the president’s alleged involvement with the Biden family’s business dealings.
The representative stated that “Hunter and James [Biden] appear to have promised official actions by Joe Biden in return for payments and business opportunities from foreign and domestic business partners. Joe Biden assisted by making appearances, phone calls, meeting with the ‘business partners,’ and knowingly allowing his family members to promise access to him and actions by him in furtherance of these schemes.”
Article two charges obstruction of justice citing the recent IRS whistleblowers’ testimony that alleges members of the Biden campaign had “improperly colluded with Justice Department (DOJ) officials to improperly interfere with investigations into tax crimes alleged to have been committed by Hunter Biden.”
Article three charges Fraud.
“James Biden recruited ‘investors’ for business ventures that ultimately failed,” the document read. “There is evidence to suggest that these investment opportunities were sold to investors based on false and fraudulent pretenses and promises. Access to Joe Biden and indications that Joe Biden supported these schemes were used to lure investors into the schemes.”
The last article accuses the president of “financial involvement in drug and prostitution,” claiming that between 2010 and 2019, the president comingled finances with Hunter, and that thousands of dollars from the Biden family were spent on Hunter’s illegal drug transactions and prostitution.
The White House has maintained that the suggestions of Biden being removed from the office are ridiculous.
The move by Steube jumps ahead of several congressional committees that have been working on a longer case to remove the president from office.
