Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, bowing to pressure from his party's hard right, authorized the launch on Tuesday of an impeachment investigation into US President Joe Biden.
"I am directing our House committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden," McCarthy said, alleging that the Democratic leader had lied to the American people about his son Hunter's foreign business dealings.
