House Republicans plan to hold their first hearing next week in their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden over his family's business dealings.
House Republicans set first Biden impeachment inquiry hearing for 28 Sept

The hearing scheduled for Sept. 28 is expected to focus on "constitutional and legal questions" that surround allegations of Biden's involvement in his son Hunter's overseas businesses, according to a spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee.

Republicans-led by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have contended in recent weeks that Biden's actions from his time as vice president show a "culture of corruption." The committee also plans to file subpoenas for the personal and business bank records of Hunter Biden and the president's brother James Biden "as early as this week." The White House has called the effort by House Republicans in the midst of the presidential campaign "extreme politics at its worst."
