the truth behind them. let s turn straightaway for the breaking news from washington for the last ten minutes or so, the most senior republican a us congress kevin mccarthy says he s ordered house committees to begin a formal impeachment inquiry into president biden. mr mccarthy said his party uncovered what he called serious and credible corruption allegations . republicans who narrowly control the house accused mr biden of profiting while he served as vice president from 2009 to 2017 from his son hunter bidens foreign business ventures. they ve not presented evidence here is mr mccarthy speaking just in the last half hour. mccarthy speaking “ust in the last half hour. ., ., half hour. through our investigations - half hour. through our investigations we - half hour. through ourj investigations we have half hour. through our- investigations we have found half hour. through our investigations we have found that president biden did live. to the american people about his ow
