Tennessee Representative Andy Ogles has initiated impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The articles allege that Biden misused his presidential and vice-presidential authority to protect his family's business dealings from scrutiny. They also criticize his management of the border situation, claiming it has harmed the American public.
The articles against Harris focus on her performance as vice president and her handling of the border crisis, citing "extraordinary incompetence" and "indifference" to the struggles of Americans affected by the border situation.
Ogles argues that Biden's actions violate his oath of office and that he has exploited his position for personal gain. He emphasizes the need for Congress to hold Biden accountable, given the perceived inaction of the Department of Justice. He further criticizes Harris for neglecting to address the border crisis effectively, claiming her inaction has exacerbated a humanitarian disaster and put American lives at risk.
Specifically, the articles against Biden accuse him of obstructing congressional investigations by withholding information, including a crucial FD-1023 form allegedly detailing a bribery scheme involving the Biden family and Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian company where Hunter Biden served on the board.
The articles against Harris accuse her of failing to adequately address the border crisis, including a lack of visits to assess the situation firsthand.
These impeachment efforts coincide with a special counsel investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents after his vice presidency. The White House has not yet commented on the impeachment articles.
