Fla. Rep. Greg Steube files articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden

Aug. 11 (UPI) -- A Florida congressman filed articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden on Friday.

Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., filed four articles of impeachment against the president, saying he had "undermined the integrity of his office, brought disrepute on the presidency, betrayed his trust as president, and acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice at the expense of America's citizens."

"The evidence continues to mount by the day," Steube said without providing details about the evidence he was citing.

"The Biden Crime Family has personally profited of Joe's government positions through bribery, threats, and fraud. Joe Biden must not be allowed to continue to sit in the White House, selling out our country," Steube continued.

Steube put forward four separate articles of impeachment.

Steube accused Biden of abuse of power, saying son Hunter and brother James Biden sold access to the president.

"Hunter Biden threatened business partners that official actions could be taken against them if they did not meet terms or make payments. In at least one instance, Hunter implied that Joe Biden was aware of these threats and willing to assist in enforcing the threats, potentially through official actions," Steube wrote in his articles of impeachment.

Steube also accused Biden of obstruction of justice, saying the president interfered with IRS investigations into activities concerning his son Hunter.

Steube accused Biden of fraud, as well, saying James Biden had "recruited 'investors' for business ventures that ultimately failed," and alleging that "there is evidence to suggest that these investment opportunities were sold to investors based on false and fraudulent pretenses and promises."

Stuebe also accused Biden of "financial Involvement in drugs and prostitution," claiming that "thousands of dollars of Biden family money was spent on illegal drug transactions and prostitution."

"Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office and disqualifications to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States," the resolution of articles reads.

On Friday, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel to investigate allegations against Hunter Biden.
