WASHINGTON (NewsNation) — Republicans have dialed up the pressure even more with the investigation into President Joe Biden and his family business dealings.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R- Calif., said the findings of the probes are rising to the level of an impeachment inquiry, and now, House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. James Comer, R- Ky., said he will call for closed-door testimony from one of Hunter Biden‘s former business partners.
The investigation, led by Comer, revolves around allegations that then-Vice President Joe Biden took part in a bribery scheme connected to his son’s business relationship with Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R- Iowa, recently released an FBI document to the public that detailed unverified reports of conversations between a confidential informant and the CEO of Burisma, who thought putting Hunter Biden on the company’s board could help protect the company from an investigation in Ukraine.
In a tweet on Monday, the House Oversight Committee GOP wrote that in at least a dozen instances, Hunter put his father — then vice president — on speakerphone with his overseas business partners.
“In one instance with Biden associate Devon Archer, two Burisma executives explicitly asked Hunter, ‘Can you ring your dad?’ We look forward to speaking with Devon Archer about this developing story,” the tweet continued.
On Monday, the White House press secretary denied the allegations.
