The hearing — scheduled for Sept. 28 — is expected to focus on “constitutional and legal questions” that surround allegations of Biden's involvement in his son Hunter's overseas businesses, according to a spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee.
Republicans — led by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy — have contended in recent weeks that Biden's actions from his time as vice president show a “culture of corruption.”
The committee also plans to file subpoenas for the personal and business bank records of Hunter Biden and the president's brother James Biden “as early as this week.”
The White House has called the effort by House Republicans in the midst of the presidential campaign “extreme politics at its worst.”
Republicans believe they have strong evidence that when Joe Biden was Vice-President, his son Hunter Biden used his father's powerful office to make millions of dollars from business ventures in China, Ukraine and other countries. The GOP investigations have also indicted that Joe Biden and other Biden family members were financially rewarded from those business ventures.
