LIVE NOW: House Committee Holds Biden Impeachment Hearing | Hunter Biden | House GOP Live | CNBC TV18
After nearly eight hours of contentious testimony, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer gaveled Wednesday’s impeachment hearing out of session – but not before announcing his intention to call President Joe Biden to testify about his alleged involvement in his family’s business endeavors.
“In the coming days, I will invite President Biden to the Oversight Committee to provide his testimony and explain why his family received tens of millions of dollars from foreign companies with his assistance,” Comer said in a closing statement. “We need to hear from the president himself.”
Former business associates of Hunter Biden are expected to testify publicly on Capitol Hill Wednesday as congressional Republicans begin the next phase of the impeachment inquiry against President Biden.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is expected to open the hearing by explaining that throughout the impeachment inquiry, investigators have “found no credible evidence of the Bidens providing any work product” and has “identified no legitimate value or document or even one single hour of work that the Bidens have provided their business partners.”
“What is apparent, after over a year of investigation, is that the Bidens do not work in any traditional sense of the word. They do not work as consultants. Or lawyers. Or advisors. The Bidens don’t sell a product or a service or a set of skills,” Comer will say, according to excerpts of his opening statement obtained by Fox News Digital. “The Bidens sell Joe Biden.

The Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, has signaled an interest in another direction. He is stopping short of drawing up articles of impeachment against the president, but eying criminal referrals of Biden family wrongdoing to the Justice Department for possible prosecution.
