Richard Sauber, peculiar council to the president, told home Overseas president James Comer (R-Ky.) that the president would not attest in the “partisan charade.”

“Your committee’s purchased ‘impeachment inquiry’ has succed only in turning up abundant evidence that, in fact, the president has done nothing wrong,” Mr. Sauber said in a letter to Mr. Comer.

“Your insight on peddling these false and unsupported allegations despite ample evidence to the contrary makes 1 thing about your investment abundantly clear: The facts do not substance to you“he added.

Republicans in their investment have found that millions of dollars flowed from businesss and individuals, including investors, to members of the Biden household while president Biden was vice president.

They’ve besides identified payments from huntsman Biden’s business to the president, and from the president’s brother to his, as well as emails between president Biden and an associate of huntsman Biden. respective witnesses, meanwhile, tested that president Biden would get on the telephone with huntsman Biden’s associates and that he attended multiple meals with them.

President Biden and the White home have dominated that he was not active with the business undertaken by his boy and brother.

Mr. Comer gate to the president in March, saying the evidence “wholly contradicts your position.”

“In light of the yawing gap between your public statements and the evidence reported by the committee, as well as the White House’s obstruction, it is in the best interest of the American people for you to answer questions from members of legislature directly, and I hereby invitation you to do so,” Mr. Comer gate at the time.

“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in the Biden family. Like his son, huntsman Biden, president Biden is refusing to attest in public about the Bidens’ corrupt influence peddling,” Mr. Comer said Monday.

“This comes as no surprise since president Biden continues to lie about his relation with his son’s business partners, even denying they be erstwhile his boy said under oath during a deposition that they did,” he said. “It is unfortunate president Biden is unwilling to answer questions before the American people and replies to answer the very simple, straightforward questions we include in the invitation. Why is it so hard for the White home to answer these questions? The American people desertve transparency from president Biden, not more lies.”

It’s not clear whowmakers are holding the subpoenaing the president, and the White home did not respond erstwhile asked who the president would be comply with a subpoena.

Lawmakers besides want more details about the work done by Eric Schwerin, 1 of the associates, for president Biden. Mr. Schwerin told lawmakers that he frequently met with president Biden and provided him with free services, including taxation preparation.

Lawmakers have yet to outline the next steps in the query. The November election is lobbying and, if president Biden loses his re-election bid, he would leave the president respectless in January 2025.
