House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced he's directing three House committees to investigate whether President Biden benefited from his son Hunter 's business dealings.
Americans do seem to believe, overall, that Hunter Biden’s business dealings were sketchy at best and illegal at worst.
But there isn’t a broad consensus that an impeachment inquiry is warranted, signaling that Republicans have some convincing to do if they want public support.
Less than half of Americans believe that Hunter Biden funneled millions of dollars to his father in a long-running scheme to help Joe Biden profit off his position, according to a Yahoo News survey.
Americans aren’t convinced that an impeachment inquiry into Biden is warranted right now.
But Americans are more divided on whether the Bidens are more corrupt than the Trumps .
A recent AP -NORC poll found that Americans were more likely to describe Trump as “corrupt” than Biden .
That doesn’t mean that Hunter Biden’s legal troubles are a liability for Biden , particularly after a grand jury just indicted him on federal gun charges.
A recent Emerson College poll said that while 47 of voters say that the indictments against Trump make them less likely to vote for him for president, 46 percent say the Hunter Biden tax and felony gun charges make they.
