White House Investigation: Biden’s Involvement in Hunter’s Subpoena Defiance Under Scrutiny

Copy the text:

House Republicans are currently investigating whether President Biden was involved in his son Hunter Biden’s alleged “scheme” to defy his subpoena for deposition earlier this month. This potential impeachable offense has led the House Oversight Committee, House Judiciary Committee, and House Ways & Means Committee to investigate if there are sufficient grounds to draft articles of impeachment against President Biden for consideration by the full House. The House formalized this inquiry earlier this month.

According to a letter obtained by Fox News Digital, Chairmen James Comer and Jim Jordan of the House Oversight Committee and House Judiciary Committee, respectively, are examining whether there is a connection between President Biden’s knowledge of his son’s defiance of the subpoenas and any potential obstruction of Congress.

Hunter Biden defied the subpoenas and instead, appeared on Capitol Hill to deliver a public statement. In this statement, he indicated that he would only testify in a public forum, a demand for special treatment that the committees had previously rejected. However, he departed the Capitol grounds without taking any questions from the representatives.

In response to Hunter Biden’s public statement, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that President Biden was “certainly familiar with what his son was going to say.” This statement from Jean-Pierre suggests that President Biden had some level of advanced knowledge about his son’s defiance of the subpoenas.

The chairmen of the committees have cited evidence that they have collected, which indicates that President Biden’s business endeavors have improperly involved his family. They have also pointed out that the president has made false claims about his knowledge and involvement in these schemes.

In light of this information, the chairmen have demanded all documents and communications related to Hunter Biden’s deposition from the White House, including communications with law firm Winston & Strawn LLP and Kevin Morris. They have also requested all documents and communications sent or received by employees of the White House regarding President Biden’s statement about his family’s business associates on December 6, 2023.

The chairmen have given the White House until January 10, 2024, to produce the requested information.

In conclusion, the House Republicans are currently investigating whether President Biden was involved in his son Hunter Biden’s alleged scheme to defy his subpoena for deposition earlier this month. The House Oversight Committee, House Judiciary Committee, and House Ways & Means Committee are examining if there are sufficient grounds to draft articles of impeachment against President Biden for consideration by the full House. The chairmen of these committees have demanded all relevant documents and communications from the White House, and they have been given until January 10, 2024, to provide this information.
