House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said that he will subpoena President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, as the House prepares to begin its impeachment inquiry into the president.
McCarthy made the remarks during a Sunday interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ “Fox News Sunday.”
“Will you subpoena Hunter Biden?” Baritromo asked.
“I don’t subpoena anybody,” McCarthy responded. “I let committees do their work. The one thing the American public has to understand is there’s a strategy behind everything. We only follow facts. Hunter Biden will get subpoenaed.”
McCarthy said that it could take time to get to that point where committees drag the president’s son to Capitol Hill.
“When’s the appropriate time? Do you do it because television wants it, or do you do it around the facts and the timing?” he asked. “I think we should have the bank statements to actually know where did the money go? So you would know the questions to ask Hunter Biden. Just to subpoena Hunter Biden because you want to fundraise or you want to do something that’s not how to run an investigation.”
McCarthy said that he wanted to get the 5,400 emails that investigators know that Biden sent using pseudonyms because that could be critical in determining what questions they need to ask Hunter Biden during interviews.
