House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) expects stiff court challenges to his panel’s subpoenas to multiple witnesses yet to be interviewed in congressional Republicans’ impeachment investigation of President Joe Biden’s business dealings when he was vice president.
“In simple terms, we assume at some point there will be challenges in court, and we just think it will help there,” Mr. Jordan told reporters during a Monday question and answer session. “According to the Constitution, you don’t need it, you can start an impeachment inquiry the way we’re doing it. The [former] Speaker of the House [Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)] said it three months ago, but we think it always helps if the full of House of Representatives is on the record, a majority of that body, has said this is an official impeachment inquiry.”
