House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced intentions to subpoena Hunter Biden as part of an ongoing investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings. Of particular interest is President Joe Biden’s alleged role in his son’s shady relationships with foreign entities.
The Speaker continued, indicating that House Republicans wished to have as much information as possible before compelling Hunter to testify.
“We also have 5,400 emails that Joe Biden used as vice president, a false name that we have not been able to get yet,” he said. “Wouldn’t it be smarter in an investigation that you were able to get all of those emails? …[W]e saw one where it was sent to Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, about a phone call with the President of Ukraine.”
The lawmaker said he wished to let the committees “follow it and take it at the right time.”
McCarthy’s comments come days after he announced that House Republicans were launching an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, a decision that was met with praise from the right and fury on the left.
Democrats are still railing against the effort to potentially impeach Biden, claiming Republicans have no evidence warranting such a move. In one exchange, McCarthy had to set a reporter straight who brought up this issue.
MCCARTHY: You know, an impeachment inquiry is not impeachment so what an impeachment inquiry is to do is to get answers to questions. Are you concerned about all the stuff that was just recently learned? Do you have any concern? Have you asked the White House any questions?
