A forensic accountant, a constitutional scholar and a former Justice Department tax supervisor will be the first witnesses Thursday when the House launches the impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
Lawmakers on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee say the opening hearing will provide the basis for the impeachment probe, which centers on whether Mr. Biden as vice president in the Obama administration engaged in influence peddling to help his son and other family members benefit from lucrative foreign business deals.
Eileen O’Connor, who formerly supervised tax cases for the Justice Department, forensic accountant Bruce Dubinsky, and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley are the listed witnesses. Mr. Trump was impeached a second time, in January 2021, on charges that he incited the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Republicans say they’ve traced more than $20 million in profits from foreign deals that ended up in the bank accounts of Hunter Biden’s associates and other Biden family members, including the president’s granddaughter.
