House Republicans seek White House documents over Hunter Biden’s refusal to comply with subpoena

Share

House Republicans have requested that the White House turn over any documents related to President Biden’s alleged knowledge of his son Hunter Biden’s refusal to comply with a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee in December. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., and Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, sent a letter to the White House looking for any correspondence regarding Hunter Biden’s scheduled deposition with the House Oversight Committee on Dec. 13.

“Such conduct could constitute an impeachable offense,” Comer and Jordan wrote.

Hunter Biden defied the subpoena, telling reporters outside the U.S. Capitol that day that he would answer any relevant questions lawmakers had about his foreign business dealings in an open-door setting. Following Hunter Biden’s comments, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters the president was “familiar with” what Hunter would say in his statement; Comer and Jordan said that comment sparked their probe.

“In light of an official statement from the White House that President Biden was aware in advance that his son, Hunter Biden, would knowingly defy two Congressional subpoenas, we are compelled to examine as part of our impeachment inquiry whether the president engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct a proceeding of Congress,” Jordan and Comer wrote.

House Republicans have given the White House until Jan. 10 to turn over any documents related to the inquiry. The investigation into Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings has been ongoing for nearly a year. Republicans allege that President Biden benefitted financially from his sons’ foreign affairs and accepted bribes, but Republicans have yet to produce any evidence to back that claim or to prove any wrongdoing by the president.
