The legislation directs the committees on Oversight, Ways and Means, and Judiciary to conduct a complete investigation of President Biden\u2019s conduct to uncover the truth regarding allegations against him and determine if his actions warrant impeachment.\n\n\u201cThe evidence that\u2019s already been uncovered about the Biden family\u2019s business dealings raise serious questions about President Biden\u2019s relationship with foreign powers,\u201d said Rep. Baird. \u201cThe existing body of proof has made it abundantly clear that an investigation is warranted to uncover the truth and reassure the American people that their leaders are not profiteering from public service. I\u2019m confident that all three committees will conduct an open and transparent investigation to give the public the answers they deserve.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nEarlier this year, the three committees began preparations for an investigation following then-Speaker McCarthy\u2019s announcement of an impeachment inquiry.\n\nThis legislation allows the three committees to conduct proceedings, question witnesses, issue subpoenas, and produce records deemed necessary to the investigation.\n\nIn December, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability released evidence that Hunter Biden\u2019s business, Owasco PC, had received payments from Communist China, which were then paid to Joe Biden in three separate installments.\n\nIn November, the Committee also released bank records showing that Joe Biden received $240,000 in direct payments from his family members who were engaged in multiple influence peddling schemes.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://baird.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=338"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.037130132317543, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
