Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., chair of the House Oversight Committee, which is leading the impeachment inquiry, has been touting a $200,000 check James Biden, the president’s brother, sent to Joe Biden in 2018 as a “direct payment.” However, reports suggest the payment was a repayment for a loan. House Republicans contend the White House should show documentation proving Biden made a loan to his brother. Johnson’s predecessor, ousted former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., opened the impeachment inquiry in September and argued the inquiry would provide House Republicans stronger authority to investigate Joe Biden and his family. Before his removal, McCarthy vowed that House Republicans would subpoena Hunter Biden at some point during the probe but did not commit to its timing.Johnson, who became speaker last week, didn’t depart from McCarthy’s promises when speaking about the inquiry. “I think the American people are owed these answers, and I think our suspicions about all this, the evidence that we’ve gathered so far, as you know, is affirming what many of us fear what may be the worst,” Johnson said.Featured Weekly AdAbout Us Newsroom Staff Ethical Principles Request a Correction Press Releases Accessibility Sitemap Subscription Terms & Conditions Terms of Service Your California Privacy Rights / Privacy Policy Privacy PolicyDo Not Sell / Share / Target My InfoCookie SettingsContact Us Help Center My Account Give Feedback Get Home Delivery eNewspaper USA TODAY Shop USA TODAY Print Editions Licensing & Reprints Advertise With Us Careers Internships Support Local BusinessNews Tips Submitting letters to the editor Podcasts Newsletters Mobile Apps Facebook X Instagram LinkedIn Threads Post YouTube Reddit Flipboard10Best Reviewed Best-selling Booklist Jobs Sports Betting Sports Weekly Studio Gannett Classifieds Coupons Blueprint Auto Insurance Pet Insurance Travel Insurance Credit Cards Banking Personal Loans LLC Formation Payroll Software© 2023 USA TODAY, a division of Gannett Satellite Information Network, LLC.
