Florida Republican files articles of impeachment against Biden

Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) announced he filed articles of impeachment against President Biden on Friday.

In a statement, Steube’s office said he filed the articles against the president for “for high crimes and misdemeanors.” The articles feature accusations of fraud, obstruction of justice and bribery stemming from allegations of illegal business dealings and tax crimes.

“It’s long past time to impeach Joe Biden,” Stebue said in the statement. “He has 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.”

Steube, who has endorsed former President Trump in his 2024 bid for the presidency, is among a group of Florida U.S. House representatives joining him at the Iowa State Fair this weekend. In his endorsement of Trump, he said the former president is the only person that can fix the “disastrous policies of the Biden administration.”

“He’s widely supported in my district, widely supported in Florida and I’m honored to add my endorsement to the long list of endorsements for President Trump,” Steube said in his endorsement announcement in April.
