On Monday, a Republican legislator from Tennessee filed articles of impeachment against Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden.

Rep. Andy Ogles charged that the president had shielded his family's company and its suspected illegal actions from congressional inquiry by using his positions as president and former vice president.

According to Fox News, Joseph Robinette Biden used the Executive Office of the President and his tenure in the White House, including his time as Vice President, as weapons to hide his family's business and influence-peddling schemes from Congressional oversight and public accountability.

The papers especially mention Biden's alleged efforts to persuade Petro Poroshenko, then the president of Ukraine, to dismiss Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who was at the time looking into oil company Burisma.

According to a form FD-1023 that the House Oversight Committee was allowed to read, the owner of Burisma allegedly engaged in a bribery plot in which he appointed Hunter Biden, the current vice president's son, to the board of directors in order to get access to his father's power and thwart Shokin's inquiry into the company. Two Biden family members allegedly earned $5 million apiece, according to the paper.

Ogle's writings also mention the FBI's resistance to giving the material to Congress. James Comer, the chairman of the oversight committee, was compelled to file contempt charges against Christopher Wray, the director of the FBI, after the agency refused to comply with a congressional demand for the information. Finally, Wray gave up and let the committee members see the FD-1023.

Ogles added in the articles, "In all of this, Joseph Robinette Biden has behaved in a way against the public trust and subversive of constitutional governance, to the great damage of the cause of law and justice and to the clear harm of the people of the United States.

Ogles is not the only politician who wants to remove Biden from office. In May, Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene declared her own intention to challenge the president on his management of the southern border.

Ogle presented an article of impeachment against Harris for her "exceptional incompetence" and for failing to travel to the southern border.
