House Republicans plan to hold their first hearing on the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden on Thursday, and they are aiming for a number of other behind-closed-doors interviews and depositions in the days and weeks to follow.
The hearing, titled “The Basis for an Impeachment Inquiry of President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.,” will be conducted by the House Oversight Committee and focus on “constitutional and legal questions” related to allegations Biden was improperly involved in his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings, according to a committee aide.The committee has not publicly confirmed witnesses for the hearing yet.
Comer, alongside two other chairmen, Reps. Jim Jordan and Jason Smith , are leading the impeachment inquiry into claims that Joe Biden used his authority as vice president for his and his son's personal financial gain. They are also looking into allegations from Internal Revenue Service whistleblowers that the Justice Department extended preferential treatment to Hunter Biden as it investigated him for tax and other crimes, leading key statutes of limitations to run out.
Four of those interviews, two with FBI officials and two with IRS agents, have already taken place. The interviews corroborated portions of the whistleblowers' accounts, including that DOJ's investigation into Hunter Biden moved noticeably slowly and that U.S. attorneys in Washington, D.C., and California would not work with now-special counsel David Weiss to bring charges against the first son, according to transcripts of the interviews obtained by the Washington Examiner.
