The House Oversight and Judiciary committees will hold a closed-door transcribed interview with President Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, Wednesday morning as part of Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into the president.
Republicans have focused on James Biden’s business dealings, including loans that Joe Biden made to his brother during a period when he was not in office, and whether the president had any involvement in his brother’s business transactions or used his influence to their benefit. The committees have not provided evidence for their claims.
James Biden’s interview comes a week before the president’s son Hunter Biden is set to appear for his own transcribed interview Feb. 28. Hunter Biden’s interview comes after a monthslong dispute between Republicans and the president’s son over the logistics of his testimony to Congress.
James Biden’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The interview of the president’s brother also comes a day after prosecutors said a former FBI informant was charged with providing false information about the president and Hunter Biden during the 2020 presidential campaign, including information that he claimed came from “officials associated with Russian intelligence,” according to a filing from prosecutors on Tuesday.
Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., subpoenaed James and Hunter Biden in November. The committee said it obtained financial records that allegedly show that Biden family members had set up more than 20 shell companies, most of which were created when Joe Biden was vice president, in an effort to cover up payments from foreign adversaries. Comer, who has accused the Biden family of engaging in “shady business practices,” has not provided concrete evidence of how the transactions demonstrate wrongdoing or influence peddling by the president.
The committee also has focused on a $200,000 loan that the president gave his brother in 2018, which James Biden’s lawyers say was repaid, adding that the president’s brother never involved him in any of his business dealings.
The White House has repeatedly pushed back on claims of wrongdoing by the president, citing the lack of evidence provided by Republicans to support their allegations against the Biden family.

“The White House has repeatedly pushed back on claims of wrongdoing by the president, citing the lack of evidence provided by Republicans to support their allegations against the Biden family.”
Sounds vaguely reminiscent of the claims of wrongdoing of another POTUS and a ‘proven’ lack of any evidence; does the name Rep. Adam(Pencil-Neck)Schiff(D-CA) and Russia, Russia, Russia ring any bells?
Just what are you talking about do you only watch Fox news that likes to keep their views in the dark concerning anything to do with Trump’s family as there was all kinds of evidence & facts that showed Trump’s family as well as those in the now TrumParty colluded with Russian officical which Adam Schiff had every reason to think Trump was in on it, not only that but when Trump had Russian officials in the oval office after becoming PotUS & his meeting with Putin in Helsinki, Finland no US reporters were allowed in on the meetings only Russian reporters got to take photos etc. no one knows what happened between Putin & Trump to this day & Trump was supposed to have shown Russian officials in the oval office things pretaining to Israel which some are thinking today could of been the reason Hamas stormed the weak area of Israel on Oct-17th it was Russia that gave them their plans of attack!
Just a question a you a product of stupid people inbreedings?
LOLOL, you are one sick puppy Johnny, the kind of voter the dems prey on.
And other than the fifth what do we expect to get from this?????
When are these liberal mfers going to prison? How about the druggie bastard that refused? What are the republicans afraid of? Are they dirty also? Clean house and demand term limits!!!!!
Amazing that the right wingers that feed on the lies provided by Faux news and similar outfits accused other people of been in the dark and insult them….well, not really, it is to be expected.
Facts are, Republicans have nothing on Joe Biden, but continue as to create enough fog to confused people into thinking there is ANY parallel between what Hunter have done and the crimes of the Trump family.
The “sooo trusted Smirnov”, the Russian that what going to spill the beans on Hunter and Joe, turn out to be a Russian Agent…but it seems, now is OK for Republicans to work with Russian Intelligence…because in the long run, current MAGA types have soured on Democracy, or the will of the people and rather have another Putin as POTUS.
Maybe is time you guys come out of the closet….You guys do not want freedom, you guys want control and people doing what YOU think is right for them….You do not relish what America has come to symbolize to the world, freedom, equality, free speech…..You guys want those just for you and the rest better comply ….or else.
