House Republicans want Biden to testify before Congress. Do Presidents do that?
he top Republican on the House Oversight Committee intends to call President Joe Biden to testify in an ongoing investigation into the overseas business dealings of his son, Hunter Biden. Such a move would set off a tug of war between Congress and the White House, but it’s unlikely Biden would ultimately be forced to appear. It’s very rare for a sitting President to testify before Congressional committees, and no sitting president has ever been forced to answer questions in front of Congress.
Comer’s investigation has focused on money Hunter Biden made from Ukrainian and Chinese businesses while Joe Biden was Vice President. Comer’s investigation hasn’t shown any instance in which Joe Biden received money from Hunter Biden’s business or made policy decisions because of his son’s influence., Hunter Biden’s longtime business partner, who testified that Hunter Biden repeatedly gave the impression to business associates that he had access to his father while he was Vice President.
Nonetheless, a subpoena of President Biden by Congress is not imminent. “We want to talk to about three or four more associates first,” Comer said on Fox Business."It's very difficult,” he added. “You know how hard the Democrats tried to get Donald Trump" to testify. How far congressional investigations into a President can go has been an issue of debate for decades. More recently, while Trump was president, House Democrats sought Trump’s tax records from an accounting firm called Mazars USA as part of their investigation into Trump’s business and real estate transactions with foreign governments and potential conflicts of interest. Trump sued to block the firm from complying.
