Schiff rejects GOP calls for Hunter Biden to testify, says impeachment inquiry won't probe 'sham' claims

Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, rebuked House Republicans' calls for former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, to testify in the public impeachment inquiry starting next week and confirmed that the proceedings will not probe"sham" Biden claims.

Current ranking member Republican Congressman Devin Nunes, in a letter to Schiff on Saturday, asked for Biden, the anonymous whistleblower and several others to testify as part of the impeachment probe, which will move from closed-door depositions to public hearings next week. In response, Schiff confirmed that Biden will not be testifying but agreed to review the rest of the Republicans' list.

"The Committee is evaluating the Minority's witness requests and will give due consideration to witnesses within the scope of the impeachment inquiry, as voted on by the House," Schiff added."As we move into the open hearing phase of the inquiry, the Committee is mindful that we are engaged in a sober endeavor rooted in the Constitution to determine whether the President of the United States engaged in misconduct that warrants impeachment by the House.

No reason for Hunter Biden to testify, accusations on conservative conspiracy theories do not belong in Congress. Trump should be protecting whistleblower but has no decency or integrity & GOP should IMPEACH TRUMP not Democrats. Trump GUILTY of Bribery, Trying to Fix 2020, Abuse

GOP have no defense so they’re plan to turn TrumpImpeachment inquiry into a circus.

It’s hard to understand why so many refuse to understand that impeachment is entirely about the Presidents behaviour & not about someone else’s. Whether or not Biden is guilty (not) it is still against the law for the President to use bribery & extortion for personal gain. Simple

Does he own a mirror

Yeah Hunter is the foremost expert on Ukrainian energy! Protect him Shifty!

Your whole impeachment process is a Sham, Schiff!

Hahahaha ... this is total double talk. Which he seems to be good at. knownliar

The Democrats look the other way when it comes to one of their own!

Biden isn’t the one in trouble. This is about Trump and his cronies. IMPEACHTRUMP

💪🏾

The irony

Sounds like some ridiculous stunt Gym Jordan would try to pull. Shameful.

There's no need for him to testify. It's not about him. They're so dumb. I wish John McCain were still alive.

GOP wants Hunter Biden, whistleblower to testify in Trump impeachment inquiryThe witness list includes Hunter Biden and the whistleblower along with six other people Republicans want to publicly testify. Impeachment has no direct connection to either Biden. What is being looked at is whether trump abused his power. Who he was abusing his power to harm is not relevant. Focus, stay on track and protect our Constitution. DID TRUMP ABUSE HIS POWER? Buden wasn't involved in Trump's dealings with Ukraine, so he could contribute nothing.
