Republicans set first Biden impeachment probe hearing for next week

House Republicans will hold their first public hearing in the impeachment inquiry into President Biden Sept. 28, The Post has learned.

A spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee said Tuesday that the hearing would focus on “constitutional and legal questions surrounding the president’s involvement in corruption and abuse of public office.”

Ahead of the hearing, the panel led by Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) plans to subpoena the bank records of first son Hunter Biden and first brother James Biden, whose overseas business interests are at the center of the impeachment inquiry announced by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) last week.

The subpoenas are meant to determine whether funds from countries such as China and Ukraine flowed to Joe Biden, and are likely to trigger a lengthy court fight over Congress’ right to the information.

“The Oversight Committee will continue to follow the evidence and money trail to provide the transparency and accountability that Americans demand from their government,” the spokesperson said.

The president routinely interacted with his son and brother’s international business associates during his vice presidency and Hunter, now 53, complained in a message retrieved from his abandoned laptop that he had to pay “half” of his income to his father.

Republicans have not yet determined whether Joe Biden received money from deals in countries where he held sway as vice president, but are investigating a paid FBI informant’s tip that Joe and Hunter Biden received $10 million in bribes from Ukrainian gas company Burisma in exchange for the elder Biden’s help forcing out prosecutor-general Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the company.

Burisma paid Hunter up to $1 million per year beginning in early 2014 when his father assumed control of the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy and dined in DC with a corporate executive in 2015.

The president’s role in a pair of of Chinese business ventures and his interactions with his relatives’ associates from Kazakhstan, Russia and Mexico also are being studied by the committee.

Former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer told the Oversight Committee on July 31 that Joe Biden was on speaker phone during roughly 20 business meetings with his son’s associates, dined twice in DC with his Eastern European and Central Asian patrons and had coffee in Beijing and then spoke on the phone with the CEO of a state-backed fund cofounded by Hunter.

Archer, who is due to serve a prison sentence for fraud, said that Hunter and two Burisma leaders stepped away from a December 2015 meeting in Dubai to call then-Vice President Biden — immediately before Joe Biden reportedly caught fellow US officials off-guard by linking $1 billion in US loan guarantees to Shokin’s ouster.
