GOP 'seriously contemplating' subpoena for Hunter Biden in move toward impeachment: report

Top House Republicans, once again appearing to be moving toward impeaching President Joe Biden, have indicated they are strongly considering issuing a subpoena to the President’s son, Hunter Biden, now that they have a new Speaker who previously suggested the Constitution requires his removal despite having been unable to offer any actual proof to warrant such an action.

“Subpoenaing the president’s son, who is facing federal tax and firearm charges in Delaware, would mark the crescendo of an unwinding impeachment inquiry,” The Messenger reports. “Three sources familiar with the conversations told The Messenger that the House GOP is seriously contemplating a subpoena for testimony from the president’s son, who has taken center stage in the impeachment investigation. While the sources said nothing was imminent, they said a subpoena of Hunter Biden is under ‘strong’ consideration by Republican leadership.

As NCRM reported earlier, Speaker Johnson on Thursday told reporters he has not “predetermined” if President Biden should be impeached but in a recent House floor speech and later on social media, before becoming Speaker, Johnson said: “The list of credible allegations that Joe Biden engaged in bribery schemes continues to grow. The Constitution specifically lists bribery as a cause for impeachment. We can’t have a President that is bought & paid for by foreign adversaries.”

The Messenger adds that Republicans have been claiming “that Joe Biden benefitted from his family’s business activities, including receiving money from countries like Ukraine and China. But the investigation has been unable to unearth any evidence directly linking Joe Biden to his family’s business deals.”

Numerous reports have stated House Republicans have no proof of any wrongdoing, much less criminal acts, by President Biden.

In May, The New York Times reported: “After months of investigation and many public accusations of corruption against Mr. Biden and his family, the first report of the premier House G.O.P. inquiry showed no proof of such misconduct.” In late September, NBC News reported, “House GOP’s impeachment witnesses say there’s no evidence yet that Biden committed a crime.”
