House Republicans hold first hearing in Biden impeachment inquiry

The House Oversight Committee on Thursday will hold the first hearing in the GOP's impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden as Republicans pursue bank records of the president and his son Hunter.

Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said this week that the hearing will focus on "the basis of an impeachment inquiry" and present evidence House Republicans say they've uncovered about "Biden’s knowledge of and role in his family’s domestic and international business practices."

The 10 a.m. hearing, he said, will feature legal and financial experts discussing "crimes the Bidens may have committed as they brought in millions at the expense of U.S. interests."

The witnesses scheduled to testify are Bruce Dubinsky, a forensic accountant; Eileen O'Connor, a former assistant attorney general at the Justice Department's Tax Division; and Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University who was a witness for Republicans when House Democrats launched their first impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump in 2019.
