"I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden," Mr. McCarthy told reporters. Mr. Biden, who defeated Mr. Trump in the 2020 election, is seeking re-election next year. The White House has said there is no basis for an investigation and Mr. Biden has mocked Republicans over a possible impeachment. Mr. Trump has pressed Republicans to try to remove Mr. Biden from office. Any Biden impeachment effort would be unlikely to succeed.
