MP Marjorie Greene (R-Ga.) Said on Thursday that she filed for impeachment against President Biden, just a day after he was installed.
The text of Greene’s impeachment articles specifying any impeachable crimes committed by Biden was not immediately available. But Greene indicated that the articles accused Biden of abusing his power while serving as vice president, allowing his son, Hunter, to serve on the board of a Ukrainian energy company.

His pattern of abuse of power as Vice President of President Obama is long and unsettling. President Biden has demonstrated that he will do whatever it takes to save his son, Hunter, and fill his family’s pockets with money from corrupt foreign energy companies, “Greene said in a statement.
Greene had already signaled last week that he would be presenting articles of impeachment against Biden the day after his inauguration.

Biden denied making any political decisions regarding Ukraine, taking into account his son’s commercial interests.
An investigation by Senate Republicans last year into allegations of corruption against the Bidens found no evidence of irregularities on the part of the current president.
The report, released last September, also found no evidence that Hunter Biden’s work for Ukrainian company Burisma influenced US foreign policy.
House Democrats have not yet formally sent the impeachment article against Trump about his role in the January 6 attack on Capitol Hill to the Senate for trial.

But she did not offer details about a specific timetable.
“I won’t say when it will go, but we had to wait for the Senate to enter the session. They have now informed us that they are ready to receive. The question is, other questions about how the trial will proceed, but we are ready, “Pelosi told reporters on Thursday.
Pelosi also predicted that the next Senate impeachment trial would be shorter than last year because of impeachment articles accusing Trump of abuse of power and obstructing Congress for his efforts to pressure the Ukrainian government to open an investigation into the Bidens.
“I see a big difference between something that we all witness and what information you may need to substantiate an impeachment article based on – much of it in a call that the president made and described as ‘perfect’,” said Pelosi.
“It was perfectly unconstitutional,” she continued. “This is different, but again, it is up to them to decide how we are going to move forward, when we are going to move forward. It will be soon. I don’t think it will take long, but – but we have to do this.”
