Republicans in the United States House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to launch an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden for his alleged corrupt acts.

The Conservative party, forming the majority in the lower chamber of the US Congress, mustered 221 votes against 212 from Democrats.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer charged Wednesday that the investigations so far have "revealed how Joe Biden knew of, participated in, and benefited from his family cashing in on the Biden name around the world."

Experts interviewed during the proceedings, however, said there was no evidence to justify a Biden impeachment.

"There is zero evidence that President Biden has engaged in any wrongdoing," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Tuesday.

Biden slammed the impeachment bid.

Accusing Republicans of stalling  funding government while obsessing over scoring political points ahead of the election.

"Instead of doing anything to help make Americans' lives better, they are focused on attacking me with lies," Biden said in a statement.

"Instead of doing their job on the urgent work that needs to be done, they are choosing to waste time on this baseless political stunt that even Republicans in Congress admit is not supported by facts."

House Speaker Mike Johnson and other members of Republican leadership said Biden continues to stonewall lawful Congressional subpoenas and the impeachment inquiry allows them to enforce the subpoenas in court.

"The American people deserve answers," they said in a joint statement. "This impeachment inquiry will help us find them."

Meanwhile, Biden's son, Hunter, told reporters from Capitol Hill that his father was not financially involved in his business.

The younger Biden refused to attend a closed-door hearing in the House.
