I wonder if there is any limit to congressional subpoena power when it comes to private citizens. Can they recall a witness to ask them essentially the same questions on the same topic infinitely? --Curt
(Forbes)Hunter Biden’s attorneys rejected a GOP-run committee’s request to appear at a hearing later this month centered around their floundering push to impeach President Joe Biden—the latest blow to the inquiry that some Republicans have begun to publicly acknowledge is dying.
Hunter Biden’s attorney Abbe Lowell blasted the request from the House Oversight Committee as “an obvious attempt to throw a Hail Mary pass after the game has ended” in a letter to the committee’s chair, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., on Wednesday, weeks after Hunter Biden sat for a deposition before Congress last month as part of Republicans’ long-running push to impeach his father over accusations of influence-peddling.
The probe, which Republicans opened shortly after Biden was elected, has yet to produce any direct evidence to corroborate claims of wrongdoing by Biden, outside of witness testimony that the president had casual interactions with his son’s business partners and some communications between Hunter Biden and his partners in which the president’s son invoked his father (though it’s unclear if the president was aware or endorsed the use of his name).
