House Republicans are seeking information from President Joe Biden's counsel about whether the president knew in advance that his son Hunter Biden planned to defy a congressional subpoena this month.
Reps. James Comer (R-KY) and Jim Jordan (R-OH) asked White House counsel Ed Siskel on Wednesday to provide them with any communications Joe Biden had with his son or his son's defense attorneys related to the subpoena.
"We are compelled to examine as part of our impeachment inquiry whether the President engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct a proceeding of Congress," the congressmen wrote in their letter.
They cited comments White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made when asked on Dec. 13 about the deposition. Hunter Biden did not appear for the closed-door proceeding that was scheduled for that day and instead delivered a speech outside the U.S. Capitol, during which he reiterated his stance that he is only willing to appear for a public hearing.
Joe Biden was “certainly familiar with what his son was going to say” that day, Jean-Pierre told reporters.
The Republicans wrote that Jean-Pierre's statement indicated that the president "had some amount of advanced knowledge that Mr. Biden would choose to defy two congressional subpoenas."
They asked that Siskel provide them with the requested documentation by Jan. 10.
This story is developing.
No one goes it alone in this life.

Absurd waste of time.
All while Newsom and Whitmer cruise along under the radar.
“Absurd waste of time.”
You wouldn’t want them to use the power of the purse to actually get something done, would you? /s
I know they get a lot of grief for writing sternly worded letters, but golly! This one is going to be SUPER strongly worded.
Like an insurrection?
Of course he did..he keeps Hunter and Ashley close so they both keep their damn traps shut about everything
Here’s an idea for The Stupid Party: Impeach the bastard for destroying the country.
OoooOooh…..GOP probing, again.
Sounds so serious, *this* time 🙃
Newsom is cruising the greatest exodus in CA history to 11/1
Haley is 8/1-
that parlay is longer than Jeffries as SOTH though but will suffer the same fate.
The Trump impeachments came up a whopping zero times during the 2020 campaign. The endless drip is the preferred outcome.
BOL with the longshots-Whitmer is 180/1 but I went w Newsom/Whitmer ticket winning at abt 300/1. Any early leans on Haley’s VP?
By went with-assumed the intention was that ticket and not Whitmer as POTUS.
At about 3000/1-Newsom/Whitmer winning and fairly priced might appear in the same sentence.
Wondering whether president helped Hunter defy subpoena is like wondering if water is wet duh.
He’s supposedly staying in the WH to avoid getting served a subpoena.................
Seems they are dithering. They already have the money trail.
I hear he supposedly is on a Caribbean island no doubt to see them coming drone operator standing by.
In between vacations on Nantucket and currently the U.S. Virgin Islands. If he is trying to get his life back together, shouldn't he find a job?
He’s been spotted getting on and off Marine One going to and from their Delaware residence, but not listed on the passenger manifest. Fraud......................
“Republicans investigate...” has become the political equivalent of “the check is in the mail.”
” If he is trying to get his life back together, shouldn’t he find a job?”
He has one, he is daddy’s bag man
Republicans investigate really well, however doing anything with what they find, well that is a different story.
