The House impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden is all but winding down, lacking the political appetite from within the Republican ranks to go forward with an actual impeachment, but facing political pressure to deliver after months of work.
The committee's top Democrat, Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, said the Republicans have turned the investigation into a "laughing stock" and the "comedy of errors" of the Biden impeachment inquiry is finally "crashing to an end." Hunter Biden, who is facing firearm and tax charges in separate matters, testified behind closed doors last month in a deposition that filled more than 200 pages but left Comer's committee without evidence rising to "high crimes and misdemeanors" that would be expected to impeach a president.It would be rare but not unprecedented for a president to appear before Congress.
Galanis described a particular time in May 2014 when Hunter Biden put his father on speakerphone for a brief chat with potential foreign business partners -- a Russian oligarch and her husband -- during a party at a New York restaurant. While Hunter Biden has testified that his father was never involved in his business dealings, Bobulinski declared: "It is clear to me that Joe Biden was the brand."
In launching their Biden impeachment inquiry last year, the House Republicans relied in large part on unverified claims from an FBI informant released by Senate Republicans suggesting Burisma-related payments totalling US$10 million to the Bidens were discussed. The now former FBI informant, Alexander Smirnov, was arrested last month and pleaded not guilty to charges that he fabricated the bribery allegations.
Instead, Comer has been looking into potential criminal referrals that could open the door to prosecutions in a future administration.
