The House Oversight Committee has issued a congressional subpoena to telecommunications company AT&T to demand the phone records of Democrat President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.
Committee investigators are seeking fifteen years’ worth of Hunter Biden’s phone records.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer wrote a letter to AT&T asserting that the request is being made as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
In the letter, Comer writes:
“The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability (Oversight Committee) is investigating whether sufficient grounds exist to draft articles of impeachment against President Biden for consideration by the full House.
“Together with the House Committee on the Judiciary (Judiciary Committee) and the House Committee on Ways and Means (collectively with the Oversight Committee, the Committees), the Committees set forth in a Sept. 27, 2023 memorandum the evidence justifying the inquiry and the scope of this impeachment investigation.
“On Dec. 13, 2023, the House of Representatives adopted a resolution directing the Committees to continue this investigation,” Comer continues.
“The Oversight Committee is subpoenaing certain records in the possession, custody, or control of AT&T that are relevant to the impeachment inquiry.
“This subpoena is being issued pursuant to my authority as Chairman of the Committee under Rule XI, clause 2(m)(1)(B) of the Rules of the House of Representatives, and Rule 12(g) of the Committee’s Rules.
“The Committee is seeking records related to AT&T customer, Mr. Robert Hunter Biden.
“As part of its investigation, the Oversight Committee has reviewed bank records of individuals and entities associated with the Biden family as well as other evidence.
“This review uncovered a pattern of financial complexity,” Comer added.
“As detailed in the Impeachment Memorandum and the Oversight Committee’s Bank Memoranda, the Biden family used corporate bank accounts of third-party associates to receive wires from foreign companies and foreign nationals.
“The Biden business associates then dispersed money to various Biden family members in incremental payments over time.”
AT&T has been given a deadline to hand over the records.
The subpoena states that AT&T must provide the records to the committee by next week, March 20, 2024.
Meanwhile, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) has threatened to hold FBI director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress for withholding information about the bureau’s interactions with social media companies about Hunter Biden.
Jordan has pressed Wray for the identities of FBI officials who took part in more than 30 meetings with Twitter and Facebook in the run-up to the 2020 election.
According to Jordan, the officials warned social media executives that “Russia” may release derogatory information about the Biden family before the election.
The Republican says those warnings “prompted the companies to erroneously suppress” an accurate New York Post story in October 2020 about Biden’s laptop.
The very real laptop contains details about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.
According to Jordan, the FBI made an “institutional decision” after the Post story to “refuse to answer direct questions” from the companies about the authenticity of the Biden laptop.
They did so despite learning in November 2019 that Biden’s laptop was legitimate.
In a letter to Wray on Monday, Jordan gave the FBI chief until March 25 to turn over the information or face contempt proceedings.
