The White House has dismissed an invitation from the House Oversight Committee to President Biden, calling it a “partisan charade” in an impeachment probe that has failed to produce any evidence of wrongdoing. In a letter to Committee Chairman James Comer, White House special counsel Richard Sauber criticized the investigation, stating that it has only served to show that the President has done nothing wrong.
Sauber, who is leaving the White House next month, emphasized that the facts do not matter to the committee, despite ample evidence to the contrary. The administration sees his departure as a sign that the push to impeach Biden is losing momentum. Sauber’s deputy, Rachel Cotton, will replace him as he returns to the private sector.
The committee had been seeking information on the Biden family’s business dealings, alleging an influence-peddling scheme. However, despite interviewing numerous witnesses, including Hunter Biden and James Biden, Republicans have not been able to provide any evidence directly linking Joe Biden to any wrongdoing or personal gain from his family’s businesses while in public office.
House Republicans have been trying to connect Joe Biden to his family’s business activities, but their efforts have not yielded any concrete evidence. The White House’s response to the committee’s invitation underscores the ongoing political tensions surrounding the investigation.
