<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Republicans</a> unveiled on Thursday their resolution to formalize the corruption-focused <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> inquiry against President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>.
Three panels — the Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways and Means Committees — have led the impeachment probe since mid-September, when then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-announces-formal-impeachment-inquiry-against-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> the endeavor. Biden and his allies insist he committed no wrongdoing and claim the impeachment inquiry is tainted by politics.
The 14-page <a href="https://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20231211/BILLS-118hres918ih.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution</a> directs the committees to &#8220;continue their ongoing investigations as part of the existing House of Representatives inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its Constitutional power to impeach Joseph Biden, President of the United States of America, and for other purposes.&#8221;
Among the authorities outlined in the text are sections governing the release of deposition transcripts, hearings, reports from participating committees, and rules for the top Democrat on each panel to get subpoenas, witnesses, or information deemed &#8220;necessary&#8221; for the investigation.
In addition to introducing the impeachment resolution on Thursday, Rep. Kelly Armstrong (R-ND) <a href="https://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20231211/BILLS-118hres917ih.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> a resolution for authorizing the enforcement of subpoenas issued by Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY), Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), and Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO).
A House Rules Committee <a href="https://twitter.com/AnnieGrayerCNN/status/1732780748170461314" target="_blank" rel="noopener">markup session</a> is scheduled to take place next Tuesday, after which a vote to pass the impeachment resolution could take place later in the week. If passed, the inquiry would follow a similar track as the first impeachment probe against former President Donald Trump, which Democrats <a href="https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-ap-top-news-impeachments-politics-trump-impeachment-inquiry-fd2765706ced4eb29c8737348c64d55c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">did not vote to authorize right away</a> either.
Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) said the House is now moving forward with a vote to combat <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/house-vote-formalize-biden-impeachment-inquiry-week-johnson/story?id=105391611" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleged &#8220;stonewalling&#8221;</a> by the White House, which he claimed has impeded efforts by investigators to get all the witnesses and documents they seek. The White House has rejected <a href="https://twitter.com/IanSams46/status/1730593986354553018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accusations of obstruction as &#8220;false&#8221;</a> and shared a list of some of the documents and personnel made available to Congress.

The GOP-led House has been <a href="https://twitter.com/Olivia_Beavers/status/1701715899248726504" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigating</a> whether the business practices of Biden&#8217;s family members fostered corruption in government — spurred by a money trail showing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-releases-memo-alleging-hunter-biden-received-millions-from-oligarchs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">millions of dollars</a> from foreign countries. Congressional investigators have also been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jim-jordan-shares-key-takeaway-from-hunter-biden-prosecutors-testimony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">looking into</a> how the Department of Justice handled the criminal probe into the president&#8217;s son, Hunter Biden, and there is now a high-profile fight over getting him to comply with a subpoena to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-republicans-issue-contempt-warning-to-hunter-biden-over-subpoena" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appear for a deposition this month</a>.
Republicans have a slim majority that was made narrower by the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-votes-to-expel-george-santos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expulsion of Rep. George Santos (R-NY)</a> last week and they cannot afford to lose more than a couple of GOP votes. While all Democrats are likely to oppose the resolution, at least one Republican, Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6337338364112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has said</a> he is <a href="https://twitter.com/Olivia_Beavers/status/1732117415805452524" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leaning toward voting against</a> it.
Even if the inquiry gets formalized, any future articles of impeachment face a high bar for the Democrat-controlled Senate to vote in favor of convicting President Biden. On Wednesday, Biden insisted that Americans are being suckered by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-calls-corruption-allegations-a-bunch-of-lies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“a bunch of lies”</a> when pressed by a reporter about alleged contacts the president had with his son&#8217;s and brother&#8217;s foreign business associates.
Still, many House Republicans see value in formalizing the inquiry at this juncture. &#8220;A vote on an impeachment inquiry puts the House in the best position to prevail in court and uncover the truth,” Armstrong <a href="https://armstrong.house.gov/media/press-releases/armstrong-introduces-impeachment-inquiry-resolution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in a statement</a>.

The fight over a congressional <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/subpoena" target="_blank" rel="noopener">subpoena</a> is poised to escalate, with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Republicans</a> warning <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a> on Wednesday about the prospect of contempt of Congress proceedings if he does not appear for a deposition this month.
Oversight Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY) and Judiciary Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jim-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jim Jordan</a> (R-OH) sent a short response to Biden&#8217;s attorney, Abbe Lowell, who <a href="https://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1732427421213696206" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reaffirmed</a> in another letter earlier in the day that his client was not willing to appear for a closed-door session.
&#8220;Contrary to the assertions in your letter, there is no &#8216;choice&#8217; for Mr. Biden to make the subpoenas compel him to appear for a deposition on December 13,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/RepJamesComer/status/1732456487350407656" target="_blank" rel="noopener">they wrote</a>. &#8220;If Mr. Biden does not appear for his deposition on December 13, 2023, the Committees will initiate contempt of Congress proceedings.&#8221;
House Republicans aim to have Biden testify as part of the corruption-focused <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> inquiry into his father, President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>. Other subpoenas and interview requests have been sent out in recent weeks, including to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-subpoenas-hunter-biden-presidents-brother-and-ex-business-associate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">president&#8217;s brother, James Biden</a>.
Lowell, in his letter to Comer on Thursday, repeated an earlier offer to House Republicans that Hunter Biden would be willing to show up for an open hearing rather than a closed deposition.
&#8220;He is making this choice because the Committee has demonstrated time and again it used closed-door sessions to manipulate, even distort, the facts and misinform the American public — a hearing would ensure transparency and truth in these proceedings,&#8221; Lowell said.

While President Biden and his allies insist he committed no wrongdoing and claim the impeachment inquiry is tainted by politics, House Democrats have condemned their GOP counterparts for resisting the open hearing offer from Lowell.
The top Democrat on the oversight panel, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), issued a <a href="https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/news/press-releases/ranking-member-raskin-s-statement-on-chairman-comer-s-rejection-of-hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> that said: &#8220;Chairman Comer has now apparently decided to avoid all Committee hearings where the public can actually see for itself the logical, rhetorical and factual contortions they have tied themselves up in.&#8221;
During a Fox News interview over the weekend, Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-fires-back-at-hunter-biden-over-public-testimony-offer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">emphasized</a> the importance of &#8220;precedent&#8221; as he dismissed Lowell&#8217;s pitch for a hearing. On Tuesday, Johnson announced the House would <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/house-vote-formalize-biden-impeachment-inquiry-week-johnson/story?id=105391611" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hold a vote to formalize</a> the impeachment inquiry, which began in September, in a bid to combat alleged &#8220;stonewalling&#8221; by the White House.
&#8220;The House has no choice, if it&#8217;s going to follow its constitutional responsibility, to formally adopt an impeachment inquiry on the floor so that when the subpoenas are challenged in court we&#8217;ll be at the apex of our constitutional authority,&#8221; Johnson <a href="https://twitter.com/cspan/status/1732086067082170713" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.

House Republicans Issue Contempt Warning To Hunter Biden Over Subpoena

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden">Hunter Biden</a> made direct monthly payments to President Joe Biden — beginning in 2018 — using an account for his business that reportedly received money from China, according to GOP House Oversight Committee lawmakers.
The committee says that subpoenaed bank records show that Owasco PC, a law firm belonging to the president&#8217;s son that is also under investigation by the Department of Justice for tax-related issues, used a corporate account to funnel payments to Biden — thus proving that he benefitted from his family&#8217;s foreign business dealings.
&#8220;President Joe Biden claimed there was an &#8216;absolute wall&#8217; between his official government duties and his family&#8217;s influence-peddling scheme,&#8221; House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said in a video on Monday. &#8220;This was a lie.&#8221;
According to bank documents, the business entity established monthly payments of $1,380 to President Biden.
&#8220;This wasn&#8217;t a payment from Hunter Biden&#8217;s personal account but an account for his corporation that received payments from China and other shady corners of the world,&#8221; Comer said.

Sources <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hunter-biden-paid-joe-biden-account-biz-china-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> theFox News Digitial that Biden&#8217;s joint venture company with a Chinese national sent at least three payments to Joe Biden&#8217;s personal account between September and November 2018.
Comer <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/comer-releases-direct-monthly-payments-to-joe-biden-from-hunter-bidens-business-entity%ef%bf%bc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">subpoenaed</a> Biden family associates to obtain personal and business records belonging to Hunter Biden and James Biden as part of its investigation into President Biden&#8217;s alleged involvement in his family&#8217;s domestic and international business schemes in China, Ukraine, Russia and more.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-gop-chairman-unpacks-tax-focus-of-biden-impeachment-inquiry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Evidence</a> conflicting with President Biden&#8217;s denials about his family&#8217;s business dealings, particularly regarding his son Hunter Biden earning money from China, has fanned suspicions among Republicans. The committee claims it identified over 20 shell companies and uncovered how the Bidens and their associates raked in over $24 million between 2015 and 2019 by selling Joe Biden as &#8220;the brand.&#8221;
Last week, a bank investigator raised concerns about Hunter Biden receiving a $5 million wire from a Chinese company in August 2018 to his bank account, Hudson West III, according to Fox News.
Biden allegedly funneled at least $400,000 to his Owasco PC account, which then transferred to a business account belonging to James Biden, who later moved the money to a personal account belonging to James Biden and his wife, Sara Biden.
Comer alleged that those funds were used to cut a $40,000 check to Joe Biden, labeled as a &#8220;loan repayment.&#8221;
Abbe Lowell, legal counsel for Hunter Biden, reportedly pushed back on the latest batch of money allegedly used to benefit Joe Biden directly.
&#8220;There Chairman Comer goes again — reheating what is old as new to try to revive his sham of an investigation,&#8221; Lowell <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4341620-house-gop-touts-hunter-biden-payments-counsel-says-they-were-for-truck/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Hill in a statement. &#8220;The truth is Hunter&#8217;s father helped him when he was struggling financially due to his addiction and could not secure credit to finance a truck. When Hunter was able to, he paid his father back and took over the payments himself.&#8221;
The committee&#8217;s claims come as House GOP leaders prepare to introduce a formal impeachment inquiry vote in the coming weeks.
&#8220;Joe Biden and the White House can&#8217;t continue to claim he wasn&#8217;t involved with his son&#8217;s shady businesses now,&#8221; House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) said on X.

House Oversight Committee

House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) dismissed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a>&#8216;s offer to publicly testify as part of the corruption-focused <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> inquiry into his father, President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>, instead of complying with a subpoena for a deposition.
&#8220;It’s the precedent,&#8221; Johnson said during an interview with Fox News on Saturday, adding later, &#8220;Every investigation of Congress in the modern era, the deposition has come first, and the public testimony follows. Why would we break that precedent now?&#8221;
Johnson was joined on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX6BxpPdZew" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Fox &amp; Friends Weekend&#8221;</a> by House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY). They both took part in the defense effort when former President Donald Trump faced impeachment.
Stefanik said the offer by Hunter Biden and his legal team was &#8220;unacceptable&#8221; and insisted that &#8220;the only correct response to a subpoena is a deposition.&#8221;
Oversight Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY), who is leading the impeachment inquiry and issued the subpoena, has already <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/comer-rejects-hunter-bidens-public-testimony-offer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rejected</a> the terms offered by Hunter Biden&#8217;s lawyer.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
The attorney, Abbe Lowell, argued that a &#8220;public proceeding would prevent selective leaks, manipulated transcripts, doctored exhibits, or one-sided press statements.&#8221;
Comer indicated that lawmakers would be willing to have Hunter Biden testify in an open hearing at a &#8220;future date&#8221; — but insisted that the first son must also testify in the closed-door deposition scheduled for mid-December.
In an interview with Newsmax, Comer said Johnson <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2023/11/29/oversight_chairman_comer_speaker_johnson_has_our_back_to_hold_hunter_biden_in_contempt_if_he_doesnt_show_at_private_deposition.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;has our back&#8221;</a> and House Republicans would &#8220;take steps&#8221; to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress if he does not comply with the subpoena.
The top Democrat on the oversight panel, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), issued a <a href="https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/news/press-releases/ranking-member-raskin-s-statement-on-chairman-comer-s-rejection-of-hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> condemning his Republican counterparts for rejecting the open hearing offer.
&#8220;What an epic humiliation for our colleagues and what a frank confession that they are simply not interested in the facts and have no confidence in their own case or the ability of their own members to pursue it,&#8221; Raskin said.
&#8220;After the miserable failure of their impeachment hearing in September, Chairman Comer has now apparently decided to avoid all Committee hearings where the public can actually see for itself the logical, rhetorical and factual contortions they have tied themselves up in,&#8221; he added.
Stefanik made the case for why an open hearing can be counterproductive to a serious inquiry.
“An open hearing is five minutes on the Democrat side, five minutes on the Republican side. It becomes a very public press opportunity for the Democrat to politicize,” Stefanik said. “We want to go about this from a legal and factual perspective and the only way to go about that is through a deposition.”

In a <a href="https://twitter.com/GOPoversight/status/1729521050742906933" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> on Tuesday, Comer declared that the terms outlined by the younger Biden&#8217;s lawyer Abbe Lowell did not comply with a subpoena demanding a closed-door deposition.
&#8220;Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else. That won’t stand with House Republicans,&#8221; Comer said.
&#8220;Our lawfully issued subpoena to Hunter Biden requires him to appear for a deposition on December 13,&#8221; Comer added. &#8220;We expect full cooperation with our subpoena for a deposition but also agree that Hunter Biden should have the opportunity to testify in a public setting at a future date.&#8221;
Comer, who is leading the corruption-focused impeachment inquiry, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-subpoenas-hunter-biden-presidents-brother-and-ex-business-associate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued subpoenas</a> for testimony from Hunter Biden, the president&#8217;s brother James Biden, and Rob Walker, a former Biden family business associate earlier this month.
Lowell responded to Comer <a href="https://twitter.com/mirandadevine/status/1729509370742890761" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a letter</a> on Tuesday, stating that his client would accept the chairman&#8217;s &#8220;offer&#8221; — yet only if the deposition is conducted in a forum that the world can see.

“Accordingly, our client will get right to it by agreeing to answer any pertinent and relevant question you or your colleagues might have, but — rather than subscribing to your cloaked, one-sided process — he will appear at a public Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing,&#8221; Lowell said, adding later, &#8220;A public proceeding would prevent selective leaks, manipulated transcripts, doctored exhibits, or one-sided press statements.&#8221;
For months, the GOP-led House has been <a href="https://twitter.com/Olivia_Beavers/status/1701715899248726504" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigating</a> whether the business practices of Biden&#8217;s family members fostered corruption in government — spurred by a money trail showing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-releases-memo-alleging-hunter-biden-received-millions-from-oligarchs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">millions of dollars</a> from foreign countries.

President Biden and his allies insist he committed no wrongdoing and claim the investigative efforts by House Republicans are tainted by politics.

White House special counsel Dick Sauber wrote a letter to GOP leaders <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/17/biden-impeachment-subpoena-white-house/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calling on them to withdraw</a> their subpoenas and interview requests to Biden family members and others, <a href="https://twitter.com/RepTimBurchett/status/1726995593812164633" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a>, &#8220;you have misrepresented the facts&#8221; and &#8220;ignored the overwhelming evidence disproving your claims.&#8221;

Comer Rejects Hunter Biden’s Public Testimony Offer

Comer Rejects Hunter Biden's Public Testimony Offer

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Republicans</a> are setting the stage for what could be a vote on articles of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> against President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> early next year.
A report published this week <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/21/house-republicans-biden-impeachment-00128154" target="_blank" rel="noopener">by POLITICO</a> quoted multiple GOP members of the House Judiciary Committee — which would spearhead the drafting of any articles of impeachment — urging the chamber to move quickly toward a decision heading into <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024</a>, which is a presidential election year in which Biden is seeking a second term in the White House.
“We understand that the further you go toward an election, the more politicized these conversations become. That’s why it’s all the more important for us to begin to take action sooner rather than later,” Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA), a member of the Judiciary Committee, told the news outlet. Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC), another member of that panel, added, “I think it needs to move with alacrity. I’ve always felt that we should be able to move faster. … But I do anticipate that it comes to Judiciary soon.&#8221;
The report also noted that Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jim-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jim Jordan</a> (R-OH), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, predicted a decision would happen early in 2024 and said, &#8220;We can decide on whether or not there’s articles&#8221; after completing a series of depositions that lawmakers hope to complete in the coming weeks.
For months, the GOP-led House has been <a href="https://twitter.com/Olivia_Beavers/status/1701715899248726504" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigating</a> whether the business practices of Biden&#8217;s family members fostered corruption in government — spurred by a money trail showing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-releases-memo-alleging-hunter-biden-received-millions-from-oligarchs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">millions of dollars</a> from foreign countries. Congressional investigators have also been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jim-jordan-shares-key-takeaway-from-hunter-biden-prosecutors-testimony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">looking into</a> how the Department of Justice handled the criminal probe into the president&#8217;s son, Hunter Biden.
Biden and his allies insist there is no wrongdoing by the president and claim the investigative efforts by House Republicans are tainted by politics.
What happens in the coming weeks could prove critical.
Though some GOP members want quick action, the <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/21/house-republicans-biden-impeachment-00128154" target="_blank" rel="noopener">POLITICO report</a> said centrist Republicans do not want a vote on impeachment articles without a &#8220;smoking gun.&#8221; A handful of GOP defectors could prove fatal to any impeachment articles, which require a simple majority to pass. The House is narrowly controlled by Republicans, and Democrats are almost certain to vote in a bloc against any articles brought forward.
Then there are outside factors that could significantly affect the timeline of events, such as new deadlines in January and February to avert a government shutdown after the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-overwhelmingly-votes-to-continue-government-funding-with-no-spending-cuts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passage</a> of another <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/johnson-led-house-passes-bill-to-avert-government-shutdown-with-dem-support" target="_blank" rel="noopener">short-term spending</a> bill.
Oversight Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY) — who is leading the impeachment inquiry with the help of Jordan and Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) — announced a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-subpoenas-hunter-biden-presidents-brother-and-ex-business-associate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wave of</a> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-issue-subpoenas-over-hunter-biden-art-sales" target="_blank" rel="noopener">subpoenas</a> and transcribed interview requests this month. Among the subpoena targets were Hunter Biden and the president’s brother, James Biden.

Planned depositions stretch over the next several weeks but could go longer if there is a legal fight.

House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA), who took on the leadership role roughly one month ago, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-says-biden-impeachment-inquiry-has-reached-stage-for-key-witness-testimony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> last week that he received a briefing from Comer and the other impeachment leaders on their progress.
&#8220;At this stage, our impeachment inquiry has already shown the corrupt conduct of the president’s family and that he and White House officials have repeatedly lied about his knowledge and involvement in his family’s business activities,&#8221; Johnson said.
&#8220;It has also exposed the tens of millions of dollars from foreign adversaries being paid to shell companies controlled by the president’s son, brother and their business associates. Now, the appropriate step is to place key witnesses under oath and question them under the penalty of perjury, to fill gaps in the record,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I commend the good work of Chairmen Comer, Jordan, and Smith. As we move forward toward an inflection point in this critical investigation, they have my full and unwavering support.&#8221;

Where The Biden Impeachment Effort Stands Heading Into 2024

Police

House Republicans subpoenaed additional <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a> associates on Thursday, including his art dealer, as part of their ongoing investigation into the Biden family business dealings abroad.
House Oversight Committee Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY) sent subpoenas to Hunter business associates Eric Schwerin and Mervyn Yan, art dealer George Bergès, and art patron Elizabeth Naftali to appear before lawmakers for depositions. The subpoenas are part of the committee&#8217;s investigation into the high priced sales of Hunter’s artwork. According to Comer, Bergès has not responded to multiple requests by the committee to come in for interviews. 
“Given the evidence the Committees have uncovered about how Hunter Biden and other Biden family members have attempted to conceal the source of the money they received from abroad, it is particularly critical for the Committees to understand the details regarding the sale of Hunter Biden’s artwork by your client’s gallery. The Committee will also seek information about any differences between the sale of Hunter Biden’s artwork and the sale of other artwork by your client’s gallery,” Comer and Rep. Jim Jordan <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Letter-to-Berges-11.9.23.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> to a lawyer for Bergès. 
Bergès is <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Georges-Berges-Subpoena.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">requested</a> to appear before lawmakers on December 15.
Naftali, a major Democrat donor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/foreign-post-handed-to-hunter-bidens-art-buyer-is-notorious-for-corruption-used-to-buy-foreign-influence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who paid Hunter Biden</a> for a piece of his hyper-expensive artwork, was recently appointed by President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad. She is set to appear before lawmakers on December 1.
In a letter to a lawyer for Naftali, Comer and Jordan said that her “anonymity regarding her purchase of Hunter Biden’s art is no more and her position on a prestigious commission within the Biden Administration raises the Committees’ concerns.”
Yan and Schwerin are both business associates of Hunter and also requested to appear before lawmakers in December.
“Mr. Schwerin worked closely with the Biden family members, Biden associates, and Biden corporate entities that the Committees have identified as transferring millions of dollars to the Bidens, often from foreign sources,” Comer and Jordan <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Letter-to-Schwerin-11.9.23-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.

On Wednesday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-subpoenas-hunter-biden-presidents-brother-and-ex-business-associate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Comer sent out subpoenas</a> to Hunter, the president’s brother James Biden, and Rob Walker, a former Biden family business associate.
Copies of the subpoenas, <a href="https://twitter.com/GOPoversight/status/1722327200714641654" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> by the Oversight Committee’s X account, showed they demand a deposition from each individual at dates extending from the end of this month to the middle of December.
Comer also requested additional Biden family members and their associates to appear for transcribed interviews, according to the panel, including: President Biden’s daughter-in-law Hallie Biden, her sister Elizabeth Secundy, Hunter Biden’s wife Melissa Cohen, and Hunter Biden’s former business partner <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tony-bobulinski">Tony Bobulinski</a>.

Hunter Biden Goes To Court To Plead Guilty To Tax Violations

Republicans Issue Subpoenas Over Hunter Biden Art Sales

Corruption

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White House</a> dismissed a request by House Oversight Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY) seeking proof of President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> providing a loan to his brother James Biden amid concerns that the commander-in-chief may have profited off his family&#8217;s influence-peddling schemes.
Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, wrote back to Comer on Friday in response to a letter from October 26 that sought documentation underlying a $200,000 check James Biden wrote to Joe Biden that was labeled as a &#8220;loan repayment&#8221; in 2018.
The letter &#8220;concerns a financial transaction between two family members at a time when both individuals were private citizens,&#8221; Sauber stated curtly in his reply, which was <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/white-house-refuses-proof-biden-family-payments-china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first reported by the Washington Examiner</a> on Monday and later obtained by The Daily Wire.
Comer, who is leading a corruption-focused impeachment inquiry against Biden, is trying to get more information about a $200,000 check dated March 1, 2018, which he said bank records show James Biden issued from his personal account on the same day he received the same amount of money from Americore Health LLC.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
That company, according to Comer, was going through bankruptcy proceedings to which James Biden made “representations that his last name, ‘Biden,’ could ‘open doors’ and that he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections.&#8221;
Comer insisted his committee has no records supporting the claim that Joe Biden provided a loan to his brother and the chairman <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Letter-to-WHCO-re-alleged-Joe-Biden-loan-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">requested</a> &#8220;documentation clarifying the nature of this payment and whether all applicable documentation and IRS filings were properly made.&#8221;
Sauber disputed the assertion that there were no relevant documents in the panel&#8217;s possession as &#8220;incorrect,&#8221; pointing to a letter House Oversight ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) wrote to Comer, and concludes by saying Comer&#8217;s &#8220;letter makes other statements that I will not address here except to express my strong disagreement with your factual assertions and characterizations.&#8221;
Raskin said the panel has documents that &#8220;clearly show that President Biden had $200,000 wired to his brother on January 12, 2018.&#8221; A <a href="https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/democrats.oversight.house.gov/files/2023-10-20%20Bank%20Record%20Fact%20Sheet%20Final.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;fact sheet&#8221;</a> from House Oversight Democrats says bank records obtained via subpoena &#8220;show that in 2017 and 2018, while President Biden was not in office, he provided two short-term loans to his brother, James, who repaid each loan within two months.&#8221;
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-8890">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
But a GOP congressional aide told The Daily Wire that &#8220;contrary to the White House’s and Ranking Member Raskin’s claims, nothing within the Oversight Committee’s possession clearly shows that Joe Biden did indeed loan his brother large sums of money. The White House and Democrats have peddled a false narrative instead of providing the loan documents.&#8221;
Another payment that has attracted scrutiny is a $40,000 check from James Biden&#8217;s wife, Sarah, sent to Joe Biden that was also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-republicans-say-biden-stonewalling-over-loan-repayment-docs-funded-by-laundered-chinese-money" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labeled</a> as a loan repayment. Comer suspects that the money came from a Chinese enterprise. The foreign business dealings of President <a href="https://twitter.com/RepLaTurner/status/1721622555805499641" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden&#8217;s son, Hunter, </a>are also a significant area of inquiry for House GOP investigators.
&#8220;The White House today made clear to us that President Biden is refusing to hand over loan documents for any &#8216;loans&#8217; he provided to his brother, James Biden,&#8221; the House Oversight Committee <a href="https://twitter.com/GOPoversight/status/1720587680189222989" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in response to Sauber&#8217;s letter on Friday.
&#8220;We’ve exposed nearly a quarter of a million of dollars that James Biden sent to Joe Biden as &#8216;loan repayments&#8217; that were funded by laundered China money and influence peddling schemes,&#8221; the panel added. &#8220;Is this what &#8216;the most transparent administration in history&#8217; is supposed to look like? We won’t be stopped by the President’s stonewalling. We’ll continue to follow the money, expose President Biden’s corruption, and deliver accountability.&#8221;

White House Rebuffs Biden Family ‘Loan Repayment’ Inquiry

White House Rebuffs Biden Family 'Loan Repayment' Inquiry

White House

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> should be impeached over allegations of corruption, House Oversight Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY) declared on Sunday.
The statement is significant as Comer is the lead <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> inquiry investigator — though the congressman said he would leave the final decision up to House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) — and shared details on a &#8220;big week&#8221; in which the probe is poised to reach a crescendo.
&#8220;I think he should [be impeached], but that&#8217;s going to be left up to the speaker,&#8221; Comer told Fox anchor Maria Bartiromo on her &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221; show.
&#8220;People ask me why I haven&#8217;t put someone in jail yet. All I can do is investigate,&#8221; Comer added. &#8220;The House of Representatives can determine whether or not to impeach. But, at the end of the day, we&#8217;re going to need an attorney general who does the right thing and prosecutes people according to the law and doesn&#8217;t have a two-tier system of justice.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Since the start of the year, Comer has spearheaded an inquiry into Biden and his family, particularly the flow of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-president-is-compromised-comer-says-biden-family-brokered-over-40m-worth-of-foreign-deals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">millions</a> of dollars of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bank-records-show-biden-received-laundered-money-from-china-comer-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspicious money transfers</a> from foreign dealings through a complicated web of businesses and bank accounts.
As concerns about corruption began to mount — even as Biden and his allies insist there is no wrongdoing — the probe got <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-announces-formal-impeachment-inquiry-against-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrapped</a> into an impeachment inquiry in mid-September.
Then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) put Comer in charge and said Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) would assist in the endeavor.
Comer recently told conservative political commentator Benny Johnson his work has reached the <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/james-comer-now-wants-to-wrap-up-biden-impeachment-probe-asap#:~:text=Continuing%20to%20brag%20about%20his,to%20wind%20down%20the%20probe." target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;downhill phase,&#8221;</a> and he aims to &#8220;wrap it up as soon as possible.&#8221;
Johnson, who took over as speaker after McCarthy was ousted from the role, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-signals-biden-impeachment-decision-coming-very-soon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told reporters</a> last week that he would not &#8220;predetermine&#8221; an outcome.
&#8220;But I do believe that very soon we are coming to a point of decision on it,&#8221; Johnson said, adding that the impeachment inquiry phase is an &#8220;important step&#8221; in ensuring due process.
In his interview on Sunday, Comer said the Biden administration has worked to obstruct the impeachment inquiry, but he emphasized that investigators have gained access to enough bank accounts to unpack evidence of money laundering.

Republicans have &#8220;proven&#8221; influence peddling by the Biden family, Comer said, and &#8220;now what we&#8217;re looking at is Joe&#8217;s involvement&#8221; as already evidenced by documented payments to him by family members for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bank-records-show-biden-received-laundered-money-from-china-comer-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a supposed loan repayment</a>.
And they&#8217;re not done yet.
Predicting a &#8220;big week&#8221; ahead, Comer said Jordan is bringing in special counsel David Weiss — who is leading a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-pleads-not-guilty-to-gun-charges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criminal inquiry into Biden&#8217;s son Hunter</a> — in for a deposition. Comer also said he expects more documents pertaining to loans to be released and teased around two dozen more subpoenas &#8220;in the very near future.&#8221;

Comer Says Biden Should Be Impeached Ahead Of ‘Big Week’

Comer Says Biden Should Be Impeached Ahead Of 'Big Week'

House Republicans investigating the Biden family for corruption said on Friday that President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> was “stonewalling” their request for documents related to alleged loans he provided to his brother James Biden. 
The claims from the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability come after Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY) said <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bank-records-show-biden-received-laundered-money-from-china-comer-says">bank records show</a> that the president received $40,000 in laundered Chinese money. House Republicans have asked for more documentation on the loans, but say they have so far been refused. 
“The White House today made clear to us that President Biden is refusing to hand over loan documents for any ‘loans’ he provided to his brother, James Biden,” a statement posted to X by the Oversight committee said. “We’ve exposed nearly a quarter of a million of dollars that James Biden sent to Joe Biden as ‘loan repayments’ that were funded by laundered China money and influence peddling schemes.”
“Is this what ‘the most transparent administration in history’ is supposed to look like?” the post added. “We won’t be stopped by the President’s stonewalling. We’ll continue to follow the money, expose President Biden’s corruption, and deliver accountability.”

According to Comer, a $40,000 check written to Biden by his sister-in-law Sara originated from Northern International Capital, a Chinese company affiliated with Chinese conglomerate CEFC. Eventually, it made its way to James and Sara Biden after going through a series of Hunter Biden-linked entities. James and his wife, Sara, then sent Joe Biden a $40,000 check as a “loan repayment.”
Comer and House Republicans have questioned the nature of the reported $40,000 check and another $200,000 check also referred to as a loan repayment. 
Democrats <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/31/politics/fact-check-evidence-supports-democrats-case-that-joe-biden-made-a-personal-loan-to-his-brother/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have argued</a> that the loans were just between James and Joe Biden, while Republicans have said that the money used to pay the president back originally came from China. 
“It’s certainly plausible that this payment where James and Sara used funds from China was indeed a loan repayment to Joe. But even if this $40,000 check was a loan repayment from James Biden, it still shows how Joe benefited from his family cashing in on his name – with money from China no less,” Comer said this week.

Republicans <a href="https://twitter.com/GOPoversight/status/1720842266535690713" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have said</a> that the legacy media has ignored the story, saying that there would be accountability. 
“It’s time for Corporate Media to wake up and report on one of the biggest scandals in U.S. history,” the Oversight committee said Saturday. “President Biden and the Admin he promised would be the most transparent in history continue to stonewall us at every turn. There will be accountability.&#8221;

House Republicans Say Biden ‘Stonewalling’ Over ‘Loan Repayment’ Docs ‘Funded’ By Laundered Chinese Money

James Biden

House Oversight and Accountability Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY) said that bank records uncovered by lawmakers reveal that President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> received $40,000 in laundered money from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">China</a>.
According to Comer, the money to Biden originated from Northern International Capital, a Chinese company affiliated with Chinese conglomerate CEFC. Eventually, it made its way to James and Sara Biden after going through a series of Hunter Biden-linked entities. James, the president&#8217;s brother, and his wife, Sara, then sent Joe Biden a $40,000 check as a “loan repayment.”
“Remember when Joe Biden told the American people that his son didn’t make money in China? Well, not only did he lie about his son Hunter making money in China, but it also turns out that $40,000 in laundered China money landed in Joe Biden’s bank account in the form of a personal check. And the Oversight Committee has it,” Comer <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/comer-reveals-how-joe-biden-received-laundered-china-money/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a video message released by House Republicans explaining the new banking memorandum detailing the check. 
The <a href="https://justthenews.com/sites/default/files/2023-11/House%20Oversight%20and%20Accountability%20Memo%2011.1.23.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">memo</a> said Northern International Capital sent $5 million to Hudson West III, a joint venture created by Hunter and a CEFC associate. On August 8, 2017, $400,000 was sent from Hudson West III to an entity affiliated with Hunter Biden. Then, on August 14, 2017, the Hunter entity sent $150,000 to the Lion Hall Group, an entity affiliated with James and Sara. 
On August 28, 2017, Sara withdrew $50,000 from the Lion Hall Group and deposited it into her and James’ personal checking account, according to Comer. On September 3, 2017, Sara then wrote the $40,000 check to Joe Biden, Comer said. 
“It’s certainly plausible that this payment where James and Sara used funds from China was indeed a loan repayment to Joe. But even if this $40,000 check was a loan repayment from James Biden, it still shows how Joe benefited from his family cashing in on his name – with money from China no less,” Comer said.

According to the timeline provided by Comer, the money transfers began <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-threatened-chinese-business-partner-for-payment-i-am-sitting-here-with-my-father" target="_blank" rel="noopener">just days after</a> Hunter had reportedly invoked his father in a WhatsApp message to CEFC associate Raymond Zhao. 
Hunter reportedly wrote in a July 30, 2017, message to Zhao: “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”
The message was first revealed by IRS whistleblowers who said their investigations into Hunter were hindered by leadership.
