GOP Subpoenas Hunter Biden's Phone Records, Sparking Backlash Over Impeachment Probe Into President
-
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) secretly subpoenaed over a decade of Hunter Biden's phone records from AT&T as part of the impeachment inquiry against President Biden.
-
Democrats blasted the subpoena, calling it an effort to harass the Biden family, indulge Trump's demands, and amplify Russian propaganda.
-
The records could encompass a VP phone line used by Joe Biden, though witnesses said he only offered pleasantries on calls and didn't discuss business.
-
Republicans claim a 2015 call resulted in Biden pushing for a Ukrainian prosecutor's ouster, but Hunter testified that never happened.
-
It's unclear if the subpoena will uncover any actual wrongdoing, as the impeachment effort has so far failed to reveal misconduct by Joe Biden despite obtaining bank records and witness interviews.
