House Republicans announced Sunday that they will issue a second testimony for first-born President Hunter Biden after he rescinded the first and instead delivered a speech inside the U.S. Capitol on the day of his first testimony.
Hunter rescinded his first testimony and then last week sat inside the US House of Representatives hearing and mocked the committee's weakness.
The President crossed Jordan.
“House Republicans to issue second round of subpoenas for Hunter Biden” https://t.co/xGvNb40S81
– Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) January 14, 2024
The Washington Examiner reported:
House Republicans told Hunter Biden's lawyers on Sunday that they would issue new subpoenas for the first son after the lawyer said previous subpoenas were illegal.
Reps. James Comer (R-Ky.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) wrote to Abbey Lowell in a letter obtained by the Washington Examiner that they “are prepared to issue subpoenas compelling Mr. Biden to appear in court on a new date in the coming weeks.”
The revelation comes after extensive consultations between Lowell and Republicans, who have long sought to speak with Hunter Biden as part of the impeachment inquiry into his father, President Joe Biden.
Lowell had initially repeatedly argued that Hunter Biden was only willing to testify at a public hearing, and noted how Coomer publicly brought that up as an option in his media appearances. Lowell also accused Republicans of trying to use a closed venue to selectively leak material from the interview to mislead the public.
Lowell's position changed last week. However, two days after the Coomer and Jordan committees voted, the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees voted to move forward with resolutions holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with subpoenas they issued to him in November.
Republicans have yet to find the courage to arrest Hunter Biden for defying Congress, something Democrats do on a whim.
Maybe this latest submission to the double dog dare will work?
