The Washington Roundtable: This week, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy moved one step closer to calling for Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against President Biden, on the grounds that Biden has used the \u201cweaponization of government to benefit his family.\u201d For years, Hunter Biden\u2019s dealings with Ukrainian and Chinese companies have been the focus of Republicans\u2019 efforts to undermine the President, although investigations in the House and Senate have found no evidence of wrongdoing by Biden in relation to his son\u2019s business dealings. Also this week, the federal judge Maryellen Noreika, in Wilmington, Delaware, put the brakes on Hunter Biden\u2019s plea deal for tax and gun-possession crimes. Hunter Biden is not the first family member of a President to cause political headaches; the brothers of Presidents Nixon, Carter, and Clinton preceded him. What should we make of the latest news about the President\u2019s son? More broadly, how do Oval Office political scandals arise and take hold of the public\u2019s imagination? Hosted by the New Yorker staff writers Susan B. Glasser, Jane Mayer, and Evan Osnos.
