It's been a week of surprise retirements, impeachment inquiries and aliens. Here's your GIFcap of this week's news.

3. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tue. directed three House committees to open an impeachment inquiry into Pres. Biden.
In his announcement Tue., McCarthy accused Biden of profiting from his son Hunter Biden's business dealings. (CNN)
Is there any evidence pointing to an impeachable crime? Per a CNN fact-checker, no evidence has been presented so far.
The GOP-led House Oversight Committee in Aug. subpoenaed six banks for records of the Biden family's finances.
Their search came up short: per CNN, Republicans found no records of Biden profiting from his family's business deals.
