James Comer of Kentucky and Jim Jordan of Ohio, both Republican committee chairmen, have recently recommenced their inquiry into President Joe Biden.
The investigation centers around allegations that the President may have impeded his son Hunter Biden’s cooperation with the House’s impeachment inquiry.
According to an official statement from the White House, it is suggested that President Joe Biden was aware beforehand of Hunter’s intention to disregard congressional subpoenas.
This revelation has prompted further examination by the committee chairmen.
According to the statement, “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.”
The letter requested:
Accordingly, and pursuant to the impeachment inquiry, please produce the following information for period January 20, 2021, to the present:
1. All documents and communications sent or received by employees of the Executive Office of the President regarding the deposition of Hunter Biden, including but not limited to communications with Hunter Biden, Winston & Strawn LLP, and Kevin Morris; and
2. All documents and communications sent or received by employees of the Executive Office of the President regarding President Biden’s statement about his family’s business associates on December 6, 2023. Please produce this information as soon as possible but no later than January 10, 2024.
“The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability (Oversight Committee) and the House Committee on the Judiciary (Judiciary Committee, and with the Oversight Committee, the Committees) are investigating whether sufficient grounds exist to draft articles of impeachment against President Biden for consideration by the full House. Along with House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith, we set forth in a September 27, 2023 memorandum the evidence justifying the inquiry and the scope of this impeachment investigation.2 On December 13, 2023, the House of Representatives directed the Committees to continue this investigation,” the statement read.
“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,” the statement added.
The statement continued: “The Committees issued subpoenas to Hunter Biden for a deposition to be conducted on December 13, 2023.4 In correspondence with Mr. Biden’s attorney prior to the scheduled date of the depositions, the Committees addressed and rejected Mr. Biden’s justifications for not complying with the terms of the subpoenas, as well as Mr. Biden’s demand for special treatment from the Committees.”
In December, the United States House of Representatives voted to officially initiate an investigation into President Joe Biden’s possible impeachment. The vote, which followed party lines with a tally of 221-212, was approved by the Republican-controlled chamber. The investigation aims to determine whether Biden received any improper benefits from his son Hunter Biden’s international business ventures. Despite being invited for closed-door testimony, Hunter Biden declined the invitation. Recently appointed House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed the responsibility they feel in conducting this impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden.
“These are — these are serious times and this is a very serious matter. And I’ve said many times over the last few years, because impeachment has been an issue that we’ve all become all too familiar with, that next to the Declaration of War, you can make an argument that impeachment may be the heaviest power that Congress holds. That — that constitutional responsibility lies with the House,” Johnson began at a press conference.
“We — we have a duty to pursue the facts where they lead. John Adams famously said ‘Facts are stubborn things.’ And you heard the recitation of that here this morning. These facts are alarming. They’re alarming to the American people, they are alarming to us. And so while we take no pleasure in the — in the proceedings here, we have a responsibility to do it. We’re very proud of the work of these three chairmen that you’ve seen here, Chairman Comer, and Jordan and Smith,” Johnson added.
He continued: “They’ve done an exceptional job on uncovering the obvious corruption. And you’ve heard it here summarized this morning, very succinctly, President Biden and the Biden family. We — we owe it to the American people to continue this process, but to do it methodically, and transparently. Many of you know I was on — I’m a lawyer, I’m constitutional law attorney, I served on President Trump’s impeachment defense team twice. And we lament it openly, and we decried how the Democrats politicize that process, they were brazenly political, and how they — they brought those meritless impeachment charges against the — the president.”
“This what you’re seeing here is exactly the opposite. We are the rule of law team, the Republican Party stands for the rule of law. And the people in charge of this are doing this thoroughly, carefully and methodically. They’re investigating and gathering all the facts,” he said.
“And to do this appropriately, and to do it in a manner that upholds our constitutional responsibility, requires time, it requires a sound process. You don’t rush something like this. You can’t, if you’re going to have fidelity to the Constitution. These chairmen are committed to proceeding in that manner. And that’s what you’re seeing. We’ve — we’ve heard from whistleblowers, Biden business associates, legal experts and now we have reached the point in the investigation that we need to hear from a handful of really key witnesses in this,” Johnson stated.
Johnson continued, “The — the chairman have issued a — a few dozen subpoenas, and we expect that those would be complied with in an expeditious manner. We’re not prejudging this. We will follow the facts wherever they lead. Again, that’s our constitutional duty. And — and I fully support our chairmen in their efforts, and we’ll have a lot more to share on this in the days ahead. We’ll take a few questions.”
ICYMI: Georgia DA Attacking Trump Is Busted In Raunchy Sex Scandal With Another Trump-Hater
To me, this whole debacle is taking way to long and will not even be resolved before Joe Biden leaves office. It is impossible to deal with the current administration when they own the DOJ, FBI, CIA and Secret Service. Let’s just close the border and then do what the democrats did to Donald Trump when he is President next year.
I AGREE!!!!!! 100%…
The Republicans definitely nèet to do something rather than talking and rolling over on the budget.
Agreed!!
We will never, ever see any decisive, conclusive action taken against the Biden criminal Cartel if the House continues circling its wagons in a straight line. Define a goal and stay focused. Republican voters are growing weary and angry with all the requests for donations when it seems that buying re-election has surpassed earning re-election. Focus! Focus! Focus!
Yes!
The Republicans need to get their act together. This has been going on far to long. The american people would like to see some action, not next year but this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Amen there Grayfox! Every time they talk about a problem, all they do is ask for money, instead of getting off their butts and doing something. I keep asking them why that is, since they are ALREADY paid to do their job, but I never get an answer out of them. Seems to me that all of our so-called Republican Reps are nothing but gutless wonders, and I for one am losing any respect I might have had for them.
Of course Pedophile, pro China, Anti-American Communist Joe Biden is involved in everything Hunter does and says.
Should everyday Americans ignore a subpoena a warrant would be issued for their arrest, but not any Communist Democrat, they get to walk away Scott free without any consequences.
Sorry Bastards.! Laws don’t pertain to them whatsoever.
So how does that make the Communist voters feel about that.? Change parties or keep voting for Communist.
where would you be sleeping IF the FIBbers found child porn on your laptop? Double is NEVER a good standard. Favoritism should be illegal in our justice system. The Dept. of JUST US (communist) needs to be cleaned up and put out. and still we wonder why we are $34 trillion in debt? socialism 101
Why is Biden still sitting in the White House there are hundreds of impeachable things he committed. Border intrusion Lying to Congress treason corruption fraud classified documents, financially gained millions of dollars in real estate crooked dealings. All the Biden’s including Jill belong in prison for the rest of their lifetime. It shouldn’t take this long to impeach a corrupt president. Get Ur Done. Time to FJB
The pro hamas democrats are now acting like their adopted terrorists. The bleating about later “retribution” against them for all their criminal actions and harassment against Trump and family would be laughable if it wasn’t so revealing. They all know, from biden on down, that they lied and used the power of a corrupt DoJ and state AG’s to attack Trump, and like hamas’ bleat about Israel kicking their asses after they slaughtered, raped and tortured thousands of Israeli citizens, so will the democrats start their sympathy tour. I hope that Trump sues personally every political hack involved with this barratry against him and his family and puts them all in their political and financial graves.
Damnit! Impeach and hang Joe …NOW!!, before he pardons anyone!
