## Transcript

Here on the month that we were gone in the week's House. Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden's conduct. Taken together. These allegations paint, a picture of a culture of corruption. Here's what we know so far. Through our investigations, we have found the President. Biden did lie to American people about his own knowledge of his family's foreign business dealings. eye witnesses have testified that the president joined on multiple phone calls, and had multiple interactions, dinners resulted in cars and millions of dollars into his sons and his son's business partners, We know the bank records show that nearly 20 million dollars.

In payments were directed to the Biden family members and Associates through various shell company. The treasury Department alone has more than 150 transactions involving the Biden family, and other business associates that were flagged as suspicious activity by US Banks. Even a trusted FBI informant has alleged a bribe to the Biden family. Buying used is official office to coordinate with Hunter Biden's business partners about hunter's role in barismo Ukrainian Energy company. Finally, despite the serious allegations. It appears that the president's family has been offered special treatment by Biden's own Administration treatment or not.

Otherwise would have received that they were not related to the president. These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and Corruption. They warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives. That's why I today I am directing our house committee to open a formal impeachment, inquiry into President Joe Biden. This logical. Next Step will give our committees, the full power to gather, all the facts, and answers for the American public. That's exactly what we want to know the answers. I believe the president would want to answer these questions and allegations as well.
