A House Republican says he is planning on filing new articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden.
Rep. Greg Steube of Florida said he will file his resolution on Friday for a number of charges, including the president’s alleged “involvement in drugs and prostitution.”
“Tomorrow, I intend on filing an impeachment resolution on Joe Biden for bribery, for extortion, obstruction of justice, fraud, financial involvement in drugs and prostitution,” he told Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight” program on Thursday evening.
“We have all the facts and evidence now. In the beginning of this Congress, Republicans wanted to make sure that we did the investigations, that we got the information before the American people,” he added.
The GOP lawmaker then made a reference to Hunter Biden’s controversial laptop, some of which has been made public, showing him doing drugs and engaging in sexual activities, among other things.
“For all the things you just mentioned. bribery, extortion, obstruction of justice, fraud, financial involvement in drugs and prostitution – and you’re saying you have the receipts?” guest host David Harris Jr. asked. “You have the proof?”
Steube said he planned to provide the evidence in a press release on Friday.
As of this writing, Stuebe had not yet issued a release.
Steube is not the only Republican who has filed impeachment articles against Biden. In June, Rep. Lauren Boebert announced on Twitter: “BREAKING: I am bringing my articles of impeachment against Joe Biden to the House Floor in a privileged motion, meaning that every Member of Congress must vote on holding Joe Biden accountable.”
Boebert argued that Biden continues to exhibit negligence concerning the U.S. border, thereby failing to ensure the safety of Americans against the influx of deadly fentanyl and criminal activities. Additionally, she has said that the president hasn’t been unsuccessful in alleviating the burden on the country’s immigration system.
“Biden intentionally ceded command & control of our border to cartels. His dereliction of duty caused the deaths of over 900 Coloradans from fentanyl, enabled sex-trafficking, & allowed an invasion,” she wrote in a subsequent tweet. “I brought my articles of impeachment up via a privileged motion to force a vote.”

Boebert accused Biden of mishandling his “constitutional duty to secure our southern border” and said she would introduce the impeachment articles if GOP leaders wouldn’t.
“Given the severity of the violation of Joe Biden’s constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of the president, United States to the best of his ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, this is something that we must do with our majorities in the House of Representatives,” Boebert told Fox News at the time. “This is our duty because Joe Biden has neglected the constitutional duty of the office of President of the United States.”
During the current session of Congress, Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., has also introduced articles of impeachment against Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. His were introduced on June 12, with Boebert as a cosponsor.
Earlier, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., introduced articles of impeachment against Biden, as well as other Biden officials such as Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves.
“I introduced the articles of impeachment in the last Congress and had fully intended to introduce them this Congress, but I was also giving some other committees and leadership the opportunity to lead on this,” Boebert continued.
“It’s about Joe Biden’s failure to secure the southern border,” she said.
“And I did this so at any time if the committees and or leadership does not step up and actually do something about the president’s failure to secure our southern border and keep the country safe, then I will call my legislation my articles of impeachment for a privileged motion,” Boebert added.
