After a brief recess, a Republican on the House Oversight Committee pushed back against Democrats’ criticism that the hearing was unnecessary and improper.
Rep. William Timmons R-S.C. contended that there was enough evidence against Hunter Biden to start the inquiry. Timmons acknowledged that the evidence was “circumstantial,” but stressed that lawmakers needed to do due diligence.
“The Congress has a duty to determine whether Joe Biden was a loving favor taken advantage of a delinquent son or knowingly participant complicit in the scheme and financially compensated for his role. That’s why we are here today, to answer that simple question,” he said.
Timmons added that the panel will subpoena Hunter Biden’s “personal bank records, various business records, invoices and contracts.”
“We are doing this because the Department of Justice, FBI and the IRS refuse to do that their job,” he claimed, without evidence.
