Republicans seek interviews with White House aides in Biden classified documents case

House Republicans sent a flurry of demands Monday to current and former White House officials who they say were involved with President Joe Biden’s classified documents case, citing their congressional investigation into whether the documents were connected to Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.

The Republicans sent a subpoena to former White House counsel Dana Remus to appear for a deposition on Dec. 8 and letters to four current White House employees asking them to schedule voluntary closed-door interviews, according to copies of the subpoena and letters obtained by the Washington Examiner.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote in the letters that they “are particularly concerned about President Biden’s mishandling of classified information given the Oversight Committee’s discoveries that the Biden family received millions of dollars from foreign sources for unknown services.”

Their requests come as the Department of Justice continues its own investigation into whether Joe Biden mishandled classified documents while he was vice president and senator.

The DOJ appointed Robert Hur to lead the investigation as a special counsel in January shortly after documents with classified markings were uncovered at the Penn Biden Center and the president’s Wilmington, Delaware, home, including in his garage.

Biden’s attorneys said they initially found the documents at the Penn Biden Center on Nov. 2, 2022, days before the midterm elections, and alerted the National Archives. However, the president drew scrutiny for failing to reveal that information until after it was reported by CBS nearly two months later.

The president also did not reveal that documents with classified markings were found in December at the second location, his home in Wilmington, until days after his initial acknowledgment of the document troubles.

While the status of Hur’s inquiry is unknown, the White House confirmed last month that the special counsel interviewed Biden as part of the case, signaling Hur may be making headway in it.

Hur will be required to submit a report about his investigation once it has concluded.
