Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson has teed up a vote next week on a subpoena for a public affairs firm as part of his panel's Ukraine investigation involving former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden
The committee has scheduled a business meeting next week to vote on a subpoena to Blue Star Strategies, a public affairs firm that worked with Burisma, the Ukrainian energy firm that hired Hunter Biden. The panel will consider the subpoena along with the nomination of Brian Miller, President Donald Trump's nominee to be the special inspector general for pandemic recovery, on May 20, according to a committee notice obtained by CNN.
Gary Peters, the ranking Democratic member on the committee, condemned the move to vote on a subpoena as a"distraction" on Wednesday. Peters opposed the subpoena when Johnson first sought to issue it, which is why a committee vote is necessary to authorize the subpoena."We should be focusing on Covid issues," Peters told CNN.
