Joe Biden of enriching himself and his family through foreign business dealings. The allegations, which they claim are impeachable offenses, date back to 2014 when he was vice president.
The allegations include "abuse of power" and "obstruction of justice or obstruction of Congress" because, according to the Republicans, Biden participated in and kept hidden an alleged $27M "influence-peddling racket."
The report also claims Biden's son, Hunter, played a role in these deals, including receiving $3.5M from Russian businesswoman Yelena Baturina. One of Hunter's business partners claimed the elder Biden joined a phone call with Baturina and told her to "be good to my boy."
This report provides all the evidence Joe and Hunter Biden have been influence peddling for years, just as Republicans suspected. It's sad that these crimes took so long to be exposed, but now the Biden family must be held accountable for using its political prominence for financial gain.
The GOP's translation of this report is more wishful thinking than a presentation of the facts. Biden's phone calls with his son only prove that he kept in touch with his youngest son after the death of his eldest boy. Republicans have wasted 20 months and reams of paper to prove Biden did nothing wrong.
