Articles of Impeachment Brought Against Joe Biden & Kamala Harris
“Joseph Robinette Biden has weaponized the Executive Office of the President and his years of service in the White House, to include his service as Vice President, to shield the business and influence peddling schemes of his family from congressional oversight and public accountability,” the articles read per Fox News.
The articles read Biden’s conduct included the following:
“A failure to comply with numerous congressional requests for information and documentation, violating a personal commitment to transparency. Members of Congress had sent numerous oversight requests and inquiries to key officials within the Biden administration in furtherance of Congress’ constitutional oversight obligations. These requests included a letter to Secretary Yellen, requesting Suspicious Activity Reports for the Biden family and business associates, a letter to the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Christopher Wray, requesting information about Hunter Biden’s connection to members of the Chinese Communist Party, and a letter to then Acting Archivist of the United States, Debra Steidel Wall, regarding the Biden family’s use of Air Force Two to facilitate business transactions with Chinese nationals.”
It also read:
“Several companies created after January 20, 2017, by Biden family members and the business associates of those family members were established as limited liability companies; these companies and others were used to funnel millions of dollars to Biden family members in intricate financial webs intended to deceive the public and obscure the sources of those funds. In early 2017, the Biden family received $1,065,000 in payments over a 3-month period from Rob Walker, a family associate; those funds were part of a larger $3,000,000 payment from State Energy HK Limited (a Chinese company) to Rob Walker’s company.”
The articles also cited the FBI document alleging Joe Biden took part in a bribery scheme with a foreign national:
“The Biden administration withheld a critical FD–1023 form until threatened with a congressional subpoena. The FD–1023 form, made available to the Members of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee in June 2023, reportedly details a bribery scheme in which members of the Biden family, including Joseph Robinette Biden, received $5,000,000 each to assist Burisma Holdings. The confidential human source of this form has been used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a reliable source of information since 2010.”

Boebert cited Biden’s failure to secure the southern border as the basis of the impeachment.
“Joe Biden has totally failed at his Constitutional duty to secure our Southern Border. For that reason, I have just introduced articles of impeachment to remove him from office,” Boebert said Tuesday.

Fox News reports:
Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., introduced articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden on claims that he mishandled his “constitutional duty to secure our southern border.”
“I introduced the articles of impeachment in the last Congress and had fully intended to introduce them this Congress, but I was also giving some other committees and leadership the opportunity to lead on this,” Boebert told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview Tuesday.
While the congresswoman is giving others the opportunity to act, Boebert warned that if leadership does not “actually do something about the president’s failure to secure our southern border and keep the country safe” then she will introduce the impeachment legislation under a privileged motion.
“It’s about Joe Biden’s failure to secure the southern border,” Boebert told Fox News Digital. “And I did this so at any time, if the committees and or leadership does not step up and actually do something about the president’s failure to secure our southern border and keep the country safe, then I will call my legislation my articles of impeachment for a privileged motion.”
Boebert explained what her impeachment process would look like if she decides to call her impeachment legislation.
ADVERTISEMENT“Under Rule IX in the House, we can bring up certain pieces of legislation under a privileged motion. So I would go to the House floor and call up my articles of impeachment and read it in its entirety. And at that point, leadership has a maximum of two days to respond and see if it’s going to be sent to committee or a vote on the articles themselves,” Boebert told Fox.
