Jordan will ‘fully support” a Hunter Biden subpoena if elected as speaker of the House

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) said he will “fully support” a subpoena of Hunter Biden should he be elected as the next House speaker.

While appearing on Sunday Morning Futures, Jordan vowed that investigations into President Joe Biden and the alleged cover up by federal agencies, including the IRS and FBI, will continue if he is elected as House speaker and must then leave his role as Judiciary chair.

Jordan told host Maria Bartiromo that collaboration takes place between the House Judiciary chair and the House speaker, and that that would continue.

“Just on basic things to get subpoenas issued, you have to consult with the speaker’s council, the House council,” Jordan said. “There’s already that working together among the three key committees — the Ways and Means Committee, the Oversight Committee, and the Judiciary Committee — and of course, the speaker and the speaker’s staff and the House council.”

“That will continue. That’s part of our constitutional duty.

We are supposed to provide oversight of the federal agencies, and we have been doing that. We’ve doing that aggressively. We’ve been doing it in a way that consistent with the Constitution, and we’ve been making a difference,” he continued. “There have been changes in these agencies because of the work we’re doing that, I think, protects Americans’ liberties and freedoms. That work will have to continue.”

When asked if Hunter Biden will be subpoenaed to appear before Congress as part of the ongoing investigation, Jordan said that is up to a committee chairman.

“Right now, Chairman Comer has subpoenaed Hunter Biden’s business records. He wants to get that information and then make a decision on that subpoena,” Jordan noted.

“The speaker of the House doesn’t issue subpoenas,” Jordan added, speaking to what his role would be if elected as House speaker. “The chairman of the respective committees issue those. I will be fully supportive if Chairman Comer wants to go that direction.”
