House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) touted the process and results of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, saying recently released evidence shows the president was “not just aware” but “connected” to his son Hunter Biden’s business deals.
“He was connected through phone calls, through meetings at the White House, through trips on Air Force Two with Hunter Biden and his business associates,” Smith told Sunday Morning Futures the hundreds of pages of documents from two IRS whistleblowers support. “It’s absolutely unacceptable.”
The Missouri Republican proceeded to condemn the Justice Department for “the obstruction in any leads that led to the president of the United States.” He also dismissed host Maria Bartiromo’s concern that an impeachment of the president would require help from the Democratic-controlled Senate.
“Maria, this is an impeachment inquiry. We are focused on getting the facts. We issued subpoenas this week of bank records of Hunter Biden, James Biden,” Smith said. “We’ve also asked for numerous Biden officials to come before Congress and answer questions. We need the answers to those questions before we can proceed anywhere.”
