Jordan and Comer Probe Biden’s Knowledge of Hunter’s Actions in Potential ‘Conspiracy
Representatives Jim Jordan and James Comer, leading the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees, are conducting a thorough investigation into whether President Joe Biden was aware of his son Hunter’s defiance of a congressional subpoena. The focus of the inquiry lies in determining if the president had prior knowledge that Hunter would refuse the subpoena issued by House Republicans, potentially entangling him in a situation characterized as a “conspiracy.”
The Republican inquiry gained momentum following White House Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s acknowledgment of President Biden’s familiarity with a statement that Hunter had prepared for his appearance before Congress. Citing this acknowledgment, Jordan and Comer have raised troubling questions about whether the president’s awareness of his son’s intended actions constitutes participation in a “conspiracy” to obstruct a Congressional proceeding, potentially constituting an impeachable offense.
In their pursuit of clarity, the two committee chairs sent a formal request to the White House, seeking any documentation related to communications between Hunter, his representatives, and the president’s executive office. The White House, however, has refrained from commenting on the matter, maintaining silence in response to Newsweek’s inquiry.

Despite the ongoing scrutiny, Hunter Biden has openly addressed the persistent attacks from House Republicans and extended a willingness to testify publicly before the House, thereby defying the subpoenas issued for his closed-door deposition. This development has amplified the tensions surrounding the situation, with House Republicans expressing strong disapproval of Hunter’s refusal and vowing to take steps to hold him in contempt of Congress for failing to appear as summoned.
As the investigation continues to unfold, the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees persist in their efforts to shed light on the events surrounding Hunter Biden’s subpoena defiance and the involvement of the President, driving an intense focus on both the White House and the Biden family.
The investigation, marked by escalating tensions and deepening scrutiny, remains a critical focal point, engrossing public attention and posing potentially significant implications for the involved parties.
