House Probing Biden for 'Conspiracy to Obstruct' Congress
The House impeachment inquiry is now investigating whether President Joe Biden engaged in “a conspiracy to obstruct,” sending a letter to White House counsel seeking documents on Biden’s coordination with son Hunter Biden’s defying a congressional subpoena.
“In light of an official statement from the White House that President Biden was aware in advance that his son, Hunter Biden, would knowingly defy two congressional subpoenas, we are compelled to examine as part of our impeachment inquiry whether the President engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct a proceeding of Congress,” the letter to White House Counsel Edward Siskel read.
House Oversight and Accountability Chair James Comer, R-Ky., and House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, sent the letter to investigate whether President Biden sought to influence or obstruct the committees’ proceedings by preventing, discouraging, or dissuading his son, Hunter Biden, from complying with the subpoenas for a deposition as part of the House impeachment inquiry.
