House Republicans leading the charge over the investigation into President Joe Biden and his son will subpoena Hunter Biden, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said, noting the timing would be in accordance with the facts.
“Hunter Biden will get subpoenaed, but when is the appropriate time? Do you do it because television wants it?” McCarthy said during an interview on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with host Maria Bartiromo.McCarthy noted it wasn't his role to be filing any subpoena at the younger Biden or anyone in the investigation, noting he lets 'committees do their work."
The House Speaker announced last week the opening of an impeachment inquiry into the president. Republicans who lead three key House committees are joining forces to investigate the matter, which includes the House Ways and Means Committee, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, and the House Judiciary Committee.
McCarthy made the decision in order to look into allegations related to business dealings by the younger Biden and whether his dad had any involvement in the foreign business dealings. The formal investigation was initiated without a vote on the House floor despite McCarthy's repeated vows that he wouldn't do just that. The move was seen as an effort to galvanize vocal Republicans who have been calling for a more formal investigation into the president as part of their negotiations to help McCarthy secure the speakership.McCarthy said he wanted more evidence to percolate over the matter before calling on Hunter Biden to testify before Congress.
“I think we should have the bank statements to actually know where did the money go, so you would know the questions to ask Hunter Biden,” McCarthy said. “The one thing the American public has to understand is there’s a strategy behind everything. We only follow facts," he added.
