The White House offered to meet with the House Republicans spearheading the impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden amid disputes over subpoenas issued to his aides and a looming House vote to formalize the inquiry.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan sent a Dec. 5 letter to Richard Sauber, Special Counsel to President Biden, urging him to drop any objection to former White House Counsel Dana Remus testifying to the committee.
The letter arrived after months of Comer’s refusal to White House objections over his subpoenas, Sauber said, arguing they could interfere with the inquiry by Special Counsel Robert Hur into the conduct of Hunter Biden given the “need to protect the independence” of Hur’s investigation.
