The Biden allegations have been thoroughly debunked. Biden was pursuing the official position of the US government, which is that the prosecutor in question was himself corrupt and was standing in the way of efforts to reform Ukraine. Trump was requesting that Zelensky make shit up about Biden.

But even if there was something on Biden, it would still be impeachably bad for Trump to make this request because he would be abusing his presidential powers to advance his own reelection efforts.

He's admitted to pushing for the Ukrainian president to open an investigation into Biden.

That's not a crime

He's subsequently admitted that he ordered payments to Ukraine halted a few days before that.

Also not a crime.


"High crimes and misdemeanors" don't refer only to actions that are specifically crimes by US law. There are a lot of things that elected officials can do (and are impeachable) that normal US citizens can't (for example, refuse to release funds to Ukraine until they make up dirt on Joe Biden). See the Hamilton quote above.
