After months of investigating behind closed doors, House Republicans will hold their first open impeachment hearing against President Biden on Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET when the House Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means Committees will try to link the president to his son Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings.
The hearing comes weeks after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy allowed the chairmen of those committees to open the inquiry without a floor vote. Democrats say the GOP push to impeach Biden is baseless and that Republicans have failed to produce any evidence of wrongdoing.
Witnesses expected to testify Thursday include Eileen O’Connor, former assistant attorney general at the Justice Department, and Jonathan Turley, a law professor who testified in support of former President Donald Trump during his impeachment inquiry in 2019.
Yahoo News is providing a live video stream as well as instant analysis of the hearing, which begins at 10 a.m. ET.
