Jordan Provides Big Update On Biden Probes
Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan came up short recently in his push to become the speaker of the U.S. House. But he remains focused on what he called “one of his top priorities” — holding President Joe Biden accountable.
During an interview on Fox News, Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said that Republicans will decide early next year whether they will begin the process of impeaching Biden.
Jordan said that the GOP’s impeachment investigation still needs some finishing touches, but many of his supporters already think there is enough evidence to impeach.
Jordan also hinted that others in Biden’s orbit — Vice President Kamala Harris and California Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi — could also find themselves embroiled in a scandal. Earlier this year, Jordan called for an investigation into Pelosi and the Democrat-led January 6 Commission. He said the Commission should investigate Pelosi and what she knows about what happened on Jan. 6.
Fox News host Larry Kudlow asked, “Jim Jordan, there may be some announcements in a minute or maybe not, but let’s talk just for a moment about the hearing. You presided over the deposition yesterday. I think the general point here is that Joe — we now know that Joe Biden has been lying about knowing his son’s business activities.”
“Oh, sure,” Jordan responded with Kudlow asking, “He lied during the 2020 debates, and he continues to lie since then. Just tell us if you would, sir, what stands out in your mind from this deposition? What did you take away that was particularly interesting?”
“Yeah. Mr. Archer said that Hunter Biden, the value he brought to the business operation they were involved in, was the Biden brand. The Biden brand being Joe Biden, this powerful political figure in D.C. And I think you saw that manifest in this meeting that took place that I thought really stood out in yesterday’s deposition, or interview was this meeting that took place December 4th, 2015, in Dubai, where Hunter Biden and Devon Archer are meeting with executives from Burisma, the guys who run Burisma, Mr. Zlochevsky,” Jordan began.
“They’re meeting with them, and at this meeting they say, the Burisma people say we’re under a lot of pressure. We need the United States government to help us out. And of course, five days after this meeting, December 9th, 2015, Joe Biden goes to Ukraine and starts attacking the prosecutor. Now, also at that meeting on December 4th in Dubai, they have a phone call with ‘D.C.’ Now, I don’t know who it was. Mr. Archer said he didn’t know. He wasn’t right there when the phone call happened,” he said.
“He was at a different part of the hotel when that happened. But he knows that there was a call that took place, a call to D.C. Who they talked to, I don’t know. But again, five days after this, Joe Biden takes action, which is the start of this process that now has become somewhat well-known where Joe Biden a few months later says, where he relates, where he gives this talk to the folks in Ukraine, says if you don’t fire Shokin, the prosecutor, you’re not getting the money,” Jordan added.
Jordan continued: “Ironically, the same thing they went after President Trump for in the impeachment, but Joe Biden says he did it. That all starts in play on this December 9th speech he gives there. Again, five days after this conversation takes place. So, that to me was sort of the big takeaway from yesterday’s interview.”
