Republican Sens. Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley are asking Mike Pompeo to release any State Department records related to Joe Biden’s son, Hunter
GOP Sens. Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley are asking Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to release any State Department records related to former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter.
As President Donald Trump faces a House impeachment inquiry for pressuring Ukraine to investigate the Biden family, Republicans are focusing on Hunter Biden’s role advising the Ukrainian gas company Burisma while his father was vice president.Trump and Republicans have sought to deflect attention from the impeachment inquiry onto the Bidens. The president on Thursday called on both Bidens to testify in the ongoing impeachment probe.
In addition to records related to Hunter Biden, Johnson, the Senate Homeland Security Committee chairman, and Grassley, the Senate Finance Committee chairman, asked for information related to his business partners Devon Archer and Christopher Heinz. Hunter Biden co-founded Rosemont Seneca Partners with Heinz, the stepson of former Secretary of State John Kerry, and Archer, who attended Yale with Heinz.
The letter also cites recent publicly released documents that demonstrate Karen Tramontano, chief executive of the consulting firm Blue Star Strategies, mentioned Hunter Biden while trying to request a meeting with then-Undersecretary of State Catherine Novelli. Grassley and Johnson requested subsequent information about the meeting.
In addition, the senators requested the State Department clarify whether Hunter Biden met with Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken in 2015. They further asked whether the State Department’s inspector general had reviewed potential conflicts of interest related to Hunter Biden’s work for Burisma while the vice president was working on Ukraine-related issues.
