House Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., sent subpoenas on Wednesday to the president's son Hunter Biden, his brother James Biden and other family members and business associates, directing them to appear for depositions and transcribed interviews. The move signals the impeachment inquiry into the president was entering a new phase.

Comer, in a written statement, says the panel has "followed the money and built a record of evidence revealing how Joe Biden knew, was involved, and benefited from his family's influence peddling schemes." He maintains that bank records the panel has received during their investigation "reveal how the Bidens sold Joe Biden around to the world to benefit the Biden family, including Joe Biden himself, to the detriment of U.S. interests."
