House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Wednesday tried to defend his party’s flailing impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, ahead of the Judiciary and Oversight committees’ interview with James Biden, the president’s brother.
Biden’s interview comes a week before the president’s son, Hunter, is set to appear for his own testimony. These two high-stakes interviews mark a critical phase for Republicans in their investigation into Biden — the result of which could determine the fate of their crumbling probe.
A former FBI informant was recently indicted by a Justice Department special counsel for allegedly lying about the Biden family’s overseas business dealings. The arrest was a stinging setback for Republicans, who had cited the claims in their push to impeach the president.
Last month, Jordan told Fox News, “The most corroborating evidence we have is that 1023 form” which detailed the informant’s allegations.
On Wednesday, Jordan insisted to reporters on Capitol Hill that the development “doesn’t change the fundamental facts.”
“Doesn’t change the facts? It does change the facts, because they’re no longer facts,” a reporter pushed back. “Those are not true.”
