         SUPPORTING THE IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY OF PRESIDENT BIDEN

  (Mr. OWENS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in full support of the House 
Republicans' formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
  Several months ago, House Republicans returned oversight to the 
people's House. We worked consistently day after day to make our 
government more accountable, as promised in our Commitment to America.
  Since January, concerning and credible allegations against President 
Joe Biden have emerged, including abuse of power, obstruction of 
justice, corrupt foreign business dealings, and influence peddling 
schemes that led to tens of millions of dollars in the pockets of 
several members of the Biden family.
  I think we can all agree: Americans deserve accountability from our 
President. Our impeachment inquiry is not a political ploy. It is an 
opportunity for Congress to continue its duty, digging into the 
potential of corruption and bringing facts to light.
  The evidence is deeply troubling. Our witnesses have testified to 
President Biden's involvement in phone calls, interactions, and dinners 
that resulted in significant financial gains for his son and his son's 
business partners.
  The Treasury Department alone has more than 150 transactions 
involving the Biden family and other business associates that were 
flagged as suspicious activity by U.S. banks.
