The White House condemns a decision to open an impeachment investigation into US President Joe Biden over his son Hunter’s business dealings as “extreme politics at its worst.”
“House Republicans have been investigating the President for 9 months, and they’ve turned up no evidence of wrongdoing,” Ian Sams, White House spokesman for oversight and investigations, says on X, formerly known as Twitter.
