The Hill debunks the claims made by Comer and House Republicans.
Comer urges President Biden to testify in impeachment inquiry
"I invite you to participate in a public hearing..." it starts.
The letter seeks to directly connect President Biden with his family’s business endeavors and relies on numerous dubious claims in doing so.
Then-Vice President Biden, with the backing of the international community, pushed to topple a Ukrainian prosecutor who had failed to tackle corruption, refusing to turn over U.S. aid without his ouster.
Republicans say the White House has refused to provide documentation showing this was the U.S. foreign policy stance at the time. But those documents and State Department correspondence were handed over during an earlier Senate investigation and have been reviewed by The Hill.
Comer’s letter also falsely asserts the prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, was investigating Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company where Hunter Biden sat on the board.
The letter also again asks President Biden about loans he made to his brother and asks him to “provide evidence of the underlying loans.”
But bank records on file with the committee and reviewed by The Hill show checks from President Biden’s account written to his brother, which were then repaid with the same amount.
