House Oversight Committee Chairman, James Comer, has issued subpoenas to Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Rob Walker for testimony as part of the ongoing impeachment inquiry. This move comes as Republicans continue to scrutinize the Biden family’s business dealings.
Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, confirmed the receipt of the subpoena and expressed his client’s willingness to testify in a public forum. Lowell criticized Comer’s probe as “partisan” and accused him of attempting to distract from the failures of his investigation into the Biden family.
In addition to the subpoenas, the committee has also requested transcribed interviews with several individuals connected to the Biden family, including Hunter Biden’s former business associate, Tony Bobulinski. Bobulinski, who was involved in Sinohawk Holdings, has become a central figure in the investigation.
Lowell also wrote a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson, urging him to halt the “partisan” investigations into his client and President Biden’s family. Comer, along with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, are leading the impeachment inquiry against President Biden.
Johnson, who supports the inquiry, believes that the president has engaged in a “cover-up” and continues to deceive the American people regarding his knowledge of and involvement in his son’s business dealings. The testimonies from the subpoenaed individuals are expected to contribute to the larger impeachment inquiry, as Republicans aim to determine whether President Biden abused his office or committed any high crimes or misdemeanors.
This development follows Comer’s previous subpoenas for personal and business bank records belonging to both Hunter Biden and James Biden. These records have raised new questions about whether President Biden was aware of or involved in his family’s business activities.
The House Oversight Committee’s actions reflect the ongoing political divide between Republicans and Democrats, with the former focusing on alleged wrongdoing by the Biden family while the latter dismisses these claims as baseless conspiracies. The impeachment inquiry continues to be a highly contentious issue, with both sides fiercely defending their positions.
