    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The resolution, introduced by Rep. Kelly Armstrong, R-N.D., would formalize the ongoing impeachment inquiry that’s been driven by three GOP-led House committees: Judiciary, Oversight, and Ways and Means.

    It is scheduled to go before the House Rules Committee on Tuesday morning, meaning the earliest it would come up for a vote is likely Wednesday, on the eve of the chamber’s last day in session this year.

    House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said Thursday that he’s confident that Republicans have the votes to formally authorize the inquiry next week.

    Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., told NBC News that he believes he is the only GOP no vote for authorizing the impeachment inquiry; he hasn’t heard from any colleagues who plan to join him.

    House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., who has been accusing the Biden family of engaging in shady business practices, recently said that GOP support to move forward with the impeachment inquiry solidified during the Thanksgiving break — when caucus members went home and “heard from people at Walmart, people on Main Street who were like, ‘Find out the truth about Joe Biden’s knowledge and involvement in his family shady business.’”

    White House counsel Richard Sauber slammed the subpoenas as “unjustified,” writing in a letter that the “requests were sent despite the fact that, after a year of investigating, voluminous records and testimony from dozens of witnesses have refuted your baseless allegations about the President.”
