In a surprising turn of events, House Republicans are expanding the Biden impeachment inquiry to delve into whether President Joe Biden had any involvement in his son Hunter Biden's defiance of a congressional subpoena. Their aim is to investigate whether the president encouraged his son to skip a closed-door deposition earlier this month. Despite Hunter Biden eventually appearing at the Capitol on December 13th, House Republicans remained skeptical and have since intensified their pursuit for answers.
The Judiciary Committee and Oversight Committee chairmen, in a joint statement, asserted that they possess credible information suggesting President Biden influenced Hunter's decision to defy the Congressional subpoena. Congressman Jim Jordan and James Comer released this 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.'
