A Republican representative filed the impeachment motion against Joe Biden on Friday. Among other things, the drafter of the motion justified his decision by saying that the American president and his family may have committed serious crimes. The reasons include bribery, extortion, fraud, as well as involvement in drugs and prostitution related to the president.
Only a few of his fans applauded and greeted bicyclist Joe Biden in Delaware a few days ago. The American president smiled and waved away questions from journalists about the historic fire that devastated Hawaii - in which around a hundred people have already lost their lives - and continued on.
Over the weekend, Joe Biden rested from his fatigue on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. There were hardly any people to be seen near the president, apart from friends, and a coast guard boat was rocking on the water.
While Joe Biden was relaxing, the procedures and investigations started due to dubious cases related to him and his family did not rest, but entered a new phase.
Joe Biden undermined the integrity of his office, discredited the presidency, betrayed the presidential trust and the rule of law, and acted in a way that subverted the administration of justice to the detriment of the citizens of America, wrote Republican representative Greg Steube in a statement, who on Friday filed a motion for impeachment against the president.
On the representative's social media page, he listed bribery, blackmail, obstruction of justice, fraud, and financial involvement related to drugs and prostitution related to the president as reasons for his motion.
Greg Steube says it's time to impeach the 80-year-old president, as the finances of Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, have long been intertwined.
For example, the Republican representative claims that between 2010 and 2019, thousands of dollars of the Biden family's money were spent on illegal drug deals and prostitution.
"The justice system should not measure the Biden family by a different standard than other citizens," the representative said in an interview. Greg Staube talked about: if it wasn't the Biden family, but anyone else - for example, a Republican member of Congress - they would have been held accountable for these crimes long ago.
The situation of the American president and his family is getting more and more difficult, because the air around them is slowly running out due to the series of scandals.
The authorities are already investigating whether Joe Biden sold his influence for a bribe to a foreign citizen even as vice president.
The bank data that revealed that during Joe Biden's vice-presidency, $20 million from Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan, and $10 million from China and Romania, came to the accounts belonging to their interests. It turned out that even his grandchildren received significant sums of money.
But they are also investigating what Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, did on the board of directors of the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma for a monthly salary of $50,000, and whether it had anything to do with his father's political influence.
"The American people will be very interested in our final report, which will show exactly what the Biden family has been involved in and how they have made millions of dollars through our enemies over the past few years," James Comer, chairman of the investigative committee, said earlier.
According to analysts, Joe Biden's support is plummeting, at a historic low of only 30 percent.
Several people note that it is particularly worrying from the president's point of view that he is now receiving more and more criticism not only from the Republicans, but also from his own party, the Democrats.
