Media: The White House began to prepare for a response to the possible launch of Biden’s impeachment

The administration of current US President Joe Biden has begun preparations for a possible launch of impeachment proceedings against him. About it informed NBC News, citing sources.

“The White House has assembled a team of two dozen lawyers, legal advisers and public relations professionals to lead an aggressive response to a likely Republican impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden,” the statement said.

According to the channel, Biden’s advisers intend to rebuff the investigation by the Republicans and present their actions as an attempt to create chaos.

At the end of July, Speaker of the US House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy suggested initiate impeachment proceedings against Biden to further investigate allegations of corruption related to him and his son Hunter. August 28 McCarthy informedthat the Republicans have enough information to initiate impeachment proceedings against Biden.

Earlier, Politico wrote that Republicans suspect Joe Biden and his son of involvement in corruption schemes in Ukraine. Associates of former President Donald Trump say that Hunter could be involved in corruption schemes of the Ukrainian oil and gas holding Burisma, where he was a member of the board of directors. According to Trump supporters, Joe Biden, who served as vice president under former US President Barack Obama, tried to help his son, put pressure on the Ukrainian authorities and forced the resignation of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who is investigating Burisma owner Nikolai Zlochevsky. This information was later confirmed by Shokin himself, while Ukraine received multimillion-dollar payments in return.

The son of the incumbent US president has already been featured in corruption scandals. Federal charges were filed against Hunter earlier following an investigation by Attorney David Weiss of Delaware. The investigation itself was launched back in 2018 and initially focused on potential violations of tax and anti-money laundering laws in foreign business transactions, mainly in China. Attorney Weiss’ office said Hunter Biden received over $1.5 million in taxable income annually in 2017-2018.
