President’s brother, James Biden, to testify behind closed doors in impeachment probe
The House Oversight and Judiciary committees will hold a closed-door interview with President Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, as part of their impeachment inquiry into the president.
The House Oversight and Judiciary committees will hold a closed-door transcribed interview with President Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, Wednesday morning as part of Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into the president.
Republicans have focused on James Biden’s business dealings, including loans that Joe Biden made to his brother during a period when he was not in office, and whether the president had any involvement in his brother’s business transactions or used his influence to their benefit. The committees have not provided evidence for their claims.
James Biden’s interview comes a week before the president’s son Hunter Biden is set to appear for his own transcribed interview Feb. 28. Hunter Biden’s interview comes after a monthslong dispute between Republicans and the president’s son over the logistics of his testimony to Congress.
James Biden's attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The interview of the president’s brother also comes a day after prosecutors said a former FBI informant was charged with providing false information about the president and Hunter Biden during the 2020 presidential campaign, including information that he claimed came from “officials associated with Russian intelligence,” according to a filing from prosecutors on Tuesday.
