House Speaker Mike Johnson would not commit Sunday to subpoena President Biden's son despite demands from conservatives.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., speaks at an annual leadership meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition, Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023, in Las Vegas.
House Republicans are investigating Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings while his father was vice president and have alleged pay-to-play wrongdoing by the elder Mr. Biden but have not directly tied him to millions of dollars that his son received. “I’m looking at that,” Mr. Johnson, Louisiana Republican, said on the Fox News Channel show “Sunday Morning Futures.” “I think desperate times call for desperate measures, and that, perhaps, is overdue.”
Mr. Johnson was elected to the speakership last week following the ouster of ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy and three weeks of intense party divisions.
