Tonight, the White House is under scrutiny as the president's attorney general pushes for a decision on whether to allow the release of the transcript of the interview between President Biden and special counsel Robert Herr. This interview has sparked concerns about the president's cognitive abilities and his handling of classified information.
A standoff has emerged between the Justice Department and the White House, with significant legal and political implications. The Justice Department has met the deadline to respond to Congress regarding the transcript, indicating a willingness to release it. However, several steps must be taken before its public disclosure.
The document will undergo a review by intelligence agencies to ensure no classified information is compromised. Following this, the White House may invoke executive privilege over specific sections, potentially delaying the transcript's delivery to Capitol Hill.
Meanwhile, another development in the impeachment investigation involves President Biden's brother, James Biden. He is scheduled to testify behind closed doors about his involvement in business deals that may be linked to the president. James Biden previously faced scrutiny for promoting a hospital chain using his brother's name, which later collapsed amid fraud allegations.
House Republicans, including those leading the impeachment inquiry, have alleged that the Biden family leveraged the president's name for financial gain. President Biden has called for an end to the impeachment probe, coinciding with his brother's testimony.
Following James Biden's appearance, the focus will shift to Hunter Biden, the president's son, who is expected to answer questions from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers about his business dealings and connections to the Biden family. These testimonies mark crucial steps in the ongoing investigations surrounding the Biden family.
