House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) indicated his panel hasn’t subpoenaed Hunter Biden yet due to the legal complexities of going after a presidential family member.
The Oversight Committee has replied on voluntary cooperation from witnesses such as Hunter Biden’s longtime business partner Devon Archer who testified in July.such as Kimberly GuilfoyleFor the time being, James Comer has mostly been seeking voluntary cooperation, but privately, he is eyeing subpoenas for more bank records.Although the Jan. 6 Committee did hear from some of former President Donald Trump’s children like Ivanka Trump directly, it did so via voluntary appearances.
On Tuesday, Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced he was ordering an impeachment inquiry into President Biden over alleged ties to his family’s business dealings.As part of that undertaking, Comer, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith will take point. McCarthy’s move came after he previously vowed to hold a floor vote on whether to initiate the probe. After a handful of Republicans became squeamish, likely indicating the motion would fail, he did it unilaterally.
The speaker defended the move, arguing that he was merely following a precedent set by his predecessor former Speaker Nancy Pelosi . Hunter Biden is also facing federal prosecution over tax and gun crimes after a plea agreement imploded over the summer.Pelosi unilaterally commenced an impeachment probe into Trump in 2019 to scrutinize the alleged quid pro quo bid with Ukraine.
