The House Oversight Committee investigating Biden family business dealings has issued subpoenas to Hunter and James Biden to appear for depositions. Also requested for transcribed interviews are family members and associates including Sara and Hallie Biden. In a rush of rule-breaking at the end of a meeting, Mr. Durbin moved to bluster through subpoenas for two friends of Supreme Court Justices on a partisan vote. This is part of a Democratic political campaign to portray the High Court as a trinket bought by billionaires. “The pair have become genuine friends, according to people who know both men,” as even the left-leaning ProPublica admitted.

One thing they could probably do without, however, is a White House and media that keep telling them how happy they should be with Bidenomics. The latest White House lecture is that inflation has fallen from 9.1% in June 2022 to 3.2% last month. Thanksgiving dinner prices are rising less fast than they did in the last two years, but they’re still rising.

The long-awaited move by Rep. James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, to subpoena the president's son Hunter and his brother James comes as Republicans look to gain ground in their nearly yearlong investigation. Lawmakers also requested that James Biden's wife, Sara Biden, and Hallie Biden, the wife of the president's deceased son Beau, appear voluntarily for transcribed interviews. Requests for comment from Hunter Biden and James Biden were not immediately returned. The five-year investigation into Hunter Biden had been expected to end with a plea deal this summer, but it imploded during a July plea hearing. Weiss has now charged the president’s son with three firearms felonies related to the 2018 purchase of a gun during a period Hunter Biden has acknowledged being addicted to drugs.

House Republicans on Wednesday issued subpoenas to Hunter and James Biden — President Joe Biden's son and brother, respectively — as well as a Biden family associate, Rob Walker, in an escalation of Republicans' impeachment inquiry into the president. A representative and attorney for Hunter Biden and James Biden did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The subpoenas and interview requests come a day after the special counsel overseeing the probe into Hunter Biden testified before the House Judiciary Committee behind closed doors. The panel further alleges that the Biden family, their business associates and their companies received more than $24 million from foreign nations over approximately five years. "These records reveal how the Bidens sold Joe Biden around to the world to benefit the Biden family, including Joe Biden himself, to the detriment of U.S. interests," Comer said in the statement.

Hunter Biden was indicted on federal gun charges in Delaware on Thursday, accused of lying about his past drug abuse and violating a gun law when he bought a handgun in 2018, before his father’s presidential campaign. The weapon was later abandoned behind a grocery store by Hallie Biden, the wife of Hunter’s late brother, Beau. What Americans believe about Hunter Biden’s businessEven if there is nothing to tie President Biden to the millions of dollars Hunter Biden and other family members made from interests in China, Ukraine and elsewhere, most Americans are not convinced. Most of those people who think the president was involved back then also think the actions were illegal. Hunter Biden also attended.

☆ Hunter Biden asks judge to stop his 4-year-old daughter, who he had with a stripper, from taking his surname, say reports

Hunter Biden has requested a judge stop his 4-year-old daughter from taking his surname. Biden said the name would rob the child of a "peaceful existence," the New York Post reported. Biden, in September, asked to have child support payments reduced because his financial circumstances had undergone a "substantial, material change," according to Dailymail.com. Roberts filed a petition for paternity and child support, and a DNA test later proved he was the father. The child was conceived while Biden was in a relationship with Hallie Biden, his brother Beau's widow.

A screenshot purporting to show a Twitter thread by Hallie Biden, U.S. President Joe Biden’s daughter-in-law, saying that Trump won the 2020 elections and that the results were changed to favor Biden is not real. Hallie Biden was married to Joe Biden’s son, Beau Biden, before he passed away in 2015. A spokesperson from The Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children, an organization for which Hallie Biden chairs the board, told Reuters via email: “Mrs. Hallie Biden does not have a Twitter account. The Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children confirmed that Hallie Biden does not have a Twitter account.
