Two Republican committee chairmen, James Comer of Kentucky and Jim Jordan of Ohio, have reinitiated their inquiry into President Joe Biden, alleging potential interference with his son Hunter Biden’s cooperation in the House’s impeachment investigation.
A statement from the White House impIied President Joe Biden was aware of Hunter’s intention to defy congressional subpoenas, prompting the investigation.
The statement read: “The Committees issued subpoenas to Hunter Biden for a deposition to be conducted on December 13, 2023. In correspondence with Mr. Biden’s attorney prior to the scheduled deposition, the Committees addressed and dismissed Mr. Biden’s justifications for non-compliance with the subpoenas, as well as his request for special treatment.”
In December, the United States House of Representatives voted to formally authorize an investigation into President Joe Biden’s potential impeachment.
With a party-line vote of 221-212, the Republican-controlled chamber endorsed the inquiry, probing whether Biden unlawfully benefited from his son Hunter Biden’s international business ventures. Hunter Biden had earlier declined an invitation to testify privately.
Newly appointed House Speaker Mike Johnson recently discussed the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, asserting, “We have a duty to pursue it.”
“These are serious times and this is a very serious matter. Next to the Declaration of W*r, impeachment may be the most consequential power Congress holds. That constitutional responsibility rests with the House,” Johnson began at a press briefing.
“We must pursue the facts wherever they lead. Facts are stubborn things, as John Adams famously said. These facts are alarming to the American people and to us. While we take no pleasure in these proceedings, we have a duty to act. We are proud of the work of Chairmen Comer, Jordan, and Smith. They have diligently uncovered evident corru ption involving President Biden and the Biden family. We owe it to the American people to continue this process methodically and transparently,” Johnson added.
He continued, “To do this appropriately and uphold our constitutional duty, we need time and a sound process. Rushing is not an option if we are to remain faithful to the Constitution. The chairmen are committed to proceeding in this manner. We have heard from whistleblowers, Biden business associates, legal experts, and now it is crucial to hear from key witnesses.”
“The chairmen have issued subpoenas, and we expect them to be complied with promptly. We are not making any prejudgments. We will follow the facts wherever they lead. I fully support our chairmen in their efforts, and we will have more updates in the days ahead. Now, we will take some questions.”
Here is what happened on the southern border, it must be ensured…
Recently, a liberal Democrat Chicago aIderman expressed his frustration with the Biden administration over the ensuing migrant crisis.
Throughout the Biden administration, iIIegal immigration has seen a significant spike, where migrants are piling into America’s cities and over whelming local infrastructure.
Chicago’s 2nd Ward Alderman Brian Hopkins appeared on CNN’s, where he addressed Biden’s handling of the border crisis. Hopkins noted that the president’s response to the issue was unacceptable and that he had Iost patience with the administration. I have to be optimistic. You know, I’m a Democrat, but I’ll say the Biden administration has absoluteIy dropped the ball. I’m not going to let them off the hook,” Hopkins said. They have left us in the ditch with this and that’s unacceptable.
Hopkins further criti cized Biden for his administration’s inaction on the issue. However, he noted that it isn’t too late to take substantive measures to address the migrant crisis. The alderman did emphasize that action should occur imminentIy as the cities struggle to get a grip on the issues presented by the influx of immigrants.
Where’s the federal government been? Where has the Biden administration been? You know, it’s not too late to do the right thing but every day that goes by while we let the border remain open and while we Iet cities try to address this humanitarian crisis, it gets worse by the day, Hopkins said. I’ve lost patience, as you could probably tell, he stated.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson also weighed in on the issue, explaining how the migrant crisis is a nationwide problem that cities must address in the absence of funding from the federal government.
Without reaI significant investment from our federal government, it won’t just be the city of Chicago that won’t be able to maintain this mission; it’s the entire country that is now at stake, Johnson said.
