"James Biden Affirms Joe Biden's Lack of Involvement in Family Business Ventures"
James Biden testified to GOP lawmakers that President Joe Biden had no involvement in the family's business dealings, stating that Joe Biden has never had any direct or indirect financial interest in his business ventures. The GOP's impeachment inquiry into the Biden family's overseas finances has faced criticism for lack of evidence directly implicating the president, especially after an FBI informant's claims were discredited. Both James and Hunter Biden were subpoenaed by the committee, with James Biden's lawyers arguing that there was no justification for the subpoena as the committee had already reviewed private bank records and transactions between the brothers. Republicans, however, continue to push back on the Biden family's defense, alleging evidence of "influence peddling" in their business dealings.
