House Republicans pivot their high-stakes impeachment inquiry Wednesday to public testimony, hoping that first-hand accounts from Hunter Biden’s former business partners can convince Americans that the first family made millions in a scheme to “sell Joe Biden” to foreign clients.
The House Oversight Committee prepared to solicit public testimony from at least two of Hunter Biden’s former associates after months of gathering documents and information in closed-door interviews. Hunter Biden was invited to attend Wednesday’s session but his lawyers signaled he was unlikely to show up.
Some members of the committee, including Reps. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., and Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., told Just the News they will press for a subpoena to compel Hunter Biden to appear in public forum in the future.
Committee Chairman James Comer made clear in prepared opening remarks reviewed by Just the News that the next phase of the inquiry will lay out evidence that he believes show the Bidens’ business model was to sell the influence of their most famous namesake rather than deliver tangible work products.
