The House Oversight Committee will hold its first hearing on the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden on Sept. 28, a spokesperson for the panel told NBC News. “The hearing will focus on constitutional and legal questions surrounding the President’s involvement in corruption and abuse of public office,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson added that the committee intends to subpoena the president’s son Hunter Biden and James Biden, the president’s brother, for their personal and business bank records as early as this week. “The Oversight Committee will continue to follow the evidence and money trail to provide the transparency and accountability that Americans demand from their government,” the spokesperson said.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Oversight Committee Chair Jim Comer, R-Ky., said he will issue subpoenas for Hunter and James Biden’s bank records once the paperwork is finalized. “Once all the i’s are dotted, t’s are crossed, I expect to issue a subpoena to Hunter and James Biden’s personal bank records,” Comer said as he left the House GOP conference meeting Tuesday morning.

“There’s a lot of apparently paperwork filed (sic) so all three committees and the speaker’s council office have to agree to the terms and everything of the impeachment inquiry,” he added. “And once all that’s ironed out then I’ll have the ability to proceed with impeachment inquiry with respect to subpoena.” Comer also said the hearing would include an overview of what an impeachment inquiry is and would feature appearances from experts on financial crimes, tax evasion, racketeering and the Foreign Agent Registration Act, among other topics.

1. And they have that authority how?

[Freethinker65]

2. Good luck. Trump successfully stonewalled giving his own records.

Why aren't they looking at Joe Biden's records???

Because there is NOTHING incriminating in them and they know it, so instead they harass and threaten Biden's relatives. And they do this while they are purposely trying to tank the economy.

Please proceed.

3. This investigation is so political, contrived, and flimsy it doesn't even qualify as a witch hunt!

Heck it's not even a fishing expedition! They have no idea what they're looking for. They're just making GQP noise to distract from Trump's 4 indictments and 91 charges.

4. Who's bringing the crackers?

Yes that’s a crude joke/reference but here we are.

5. Sounds like they want to impeach Hunter Biden.

WTF is this shit?

[BlueIdaho]

6. Oversight Committee becomes loose cannon

So now they don’t even need a majority vote in the house for the Oversight committee to ruin people’s lives?

This shit is not part of a Democracy.

7. Gee, I can hardly wait

I'll be sure to clear my calendar for that. NOT. effin' idiots...

8. Republicans are working hard to "inquire" about how to find evidence,

and "inquire" about how to conduct an impeachment of Joe Biden because
democracy is bad,
voting is not a right,
Russia/North Korea/China are the good guys,
Ukraine is our enemy,
global companies are better than government,
book banning & burning is cool,
privacy is not a right,
violence & bigotry are acceptable only for white males,
female's bodies are not their own.

They stand by the belief that all conflict-driven, win-lose political activity is "governing."

9. My, my how quickly they proceed...
