EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Constitution of the United States entrusts the House of Representatives with "the sole Power of Impeachment."! When confronted with evidence that the President of the United States may have engaged in "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors," it is the House's responsibility to conduct an impeachment inquiry and, when appropriate, prepare articles of impeachment. In accordance with this obligation, and pursuant to direction from the House, the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, the Committee on the Judiciary, and the Committee on Ways and Means have been conducting an inquiry to assess whether sufficient evidence exists that President Joseph R. Biden Jr. engaged in impeachable conduct. As described in this report, the Committees have accumulated evidence demonstrating that President Biden has engaged in impeachable conduct. The Committees have prepared this report to inform the House on the evidence gathered to date.
First and foremost, overwhelming evidence demonstrates that President Biden participated in a conspiracy to monetize his office of public trust to enrich his family. Among other aspects of this conspiracy, the Biden family and their business associates received tens of millions of dollars from foreign interests by leading those interests to believe that such payments would provide them access to and influence with President Biden. As Vice President, President Biden actively participated in this conspiracy by, among other things, attending dinners with his family's foreign business partners and speaking to them by phone, often when being placed on

million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton, a firm associated with Hunter Biden.' Then, months later, as Hunter Biden and his business associates continued to solicit more money from Baturina, Vice President Biden participated in a phone call with Baturina and Hunter Biden where Vice President Biden told Baturina, "you be good to my boy." Moreover, President Biden knowingly participated in this conspiracy. Based on the totality of the evidence, it is inconceivable that President Biden did not understand that he was taking part in an effort to enrich his family by abusing his office of public trust.
The evidence also establishes that the Biden family went to great lengths to conceal this conspiracy. Foreign money was transmitted to the Biden family through complicated financial transactions. The Biden family laundered funds through intermediate entities and broke up large transactions into numerous smaller transactions. Substantial efforts were also made to hide President Biden's involvement in his family's business activities.
Evidence obtained during the Committees' impeachment inquiry also shows Hunter Biden and his business associates leveraged Vice President Biden's official position to garner
