“Hunter Biden will get subpoenaed, but when is the appropriate time? Do you do it because television wants it?” McCarthy said during an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo.
McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden on Tuesday over allegations related to his son’s business dealings that so far have not been backed up by public evidence. But launching the inquiry will allow Congress to find answers to questions Republicans still have about the president’s level of involvement in Hunter Biden’s business affairs, McCarthy said.
The formal probe began without a vote on the House floor — despite McCarthy’s explicit pledges as recently as this month that he wouldn’t do just that. The move was seen as being part of an effort to shore up support from Republican hardliners who have been calling for a more formal investigation into the president.
On Sunday, McCarthy said he wanted more evidence before calling the president’s son in to testify before Congress.
“I think we should have the bank statements to actually know where did the money go, so you would know the questions to ask Hunter Biden,” McCarthy said.
