    WASHINGTON — House Republicans on Wednesday voted to formalize an impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden, intensifying their investigation into unproven allegations that the president benefited from his son’s overseas business dealings.

    The vote is a formality, but it puts the House GOP — including vulnerable members who face competitive reelection contests next year — on record in support of moving toward impeaching Biden. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California, egged on by former President Donald Trump and the most far-right members of his caucus, launched the inquiry without a vote in September.

    The inquiry has yet to produce evidence that proves the GOP’s long-standing, unproven claim that Biden benefited from his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings.

    The U.S. Constitution does not require the chamber to vote to launch an impeachment inquiry, legal experts told the Los Angeles Times.
