Around the same time, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer made another appearance on a conservative media outlet, where he seemed amenable to the idea of impeaching Attorney General Merrick Garland.
At issue is an odd dispute with Hunter Biden, President Joe Bidens son. Comer and his GOP colleagues subpoenaed the younger Biden, and he agreed to testify but only if the Q&A were held publicly, for all the world to see. Republicans responded that they would only ask questions in private, behind closed doors.
On the day of the deposition, Hunter Biden insisted on transparency; GOP committee chairs insisted on secrecy; and so there were no exchanges between members and the witness. As a result of the impasse, House Republicans are moving forward with plans to hold the presidents son in contempt of Congress which is a crime at which point the matter would be referred to the Justice Department.
It was against this backdrop that a Newsmax host asked Comer whether it would be grounds for impeaching the attorney general if federal prosecutors choose not to charge Hunter Biden.
I think so, the congressman replied.
