Republicans make last-ditch request for Biden to testify as impeachment inquiry winds down

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden is all but winding down, lacking the political appetite from within the Republican ranks to go forward with an actual impeachment, but facing political pressure to deliver after months of work.

The chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, Republican Rep. James Comer, made a last-ditch push at Wednesday's hearing, announcing he will seek testimony from Biden himself, saying the Democratic president was either “complicit or incompetent” in his son Hunter Biden's business dealings. It's highly unlikely Biden would appear before the committee.

“We need to hear from the president himself,” Comer said at the close of the nearly eight-hour hearing.

The White House told Republicans to “move on” and focus on “real issues" Americans want addressed. “This is a sad stunt at the end of a dead impeachment,” spokesman Ian Sams said. “Call it a day, pal.”
