Oversight Committee Moves To Subpoena The Clintons, Comey, Garland And Others In Epstein Probe

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Republicans and Democrats on the House Oversight Committee voted Wednesday to subpoena a slate of former top officials in a rare show of bipartisanship.

Oversight Chairman James Comer said the committee’s new ranking Democrat, California Rep. Robert Garcia, joined Republicans in authorizing subpoenas for Bill and Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Robert Mueller, William Barr, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales.

“I commend Representative Robert Garcia for being bipartisan in one of his first official acts as Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee, Comer wrote on X.

Garcia also sent a letter to Comer urging Republicans to immediately subpoena the Department of Justice for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.

In a statement, Garcia framed the move as a Democratic victory.

“The Oversight Committee is preparing subpoenas for these individuals and the Epstein files and will issue them in the near future,” he said. “Committee Democrats won the fight for transparency, successfully passing a motion to force the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files,” he continued. “Today, I’m writing to Chairman Comer requesting he immediately make good on his promise to issue the official subpoena.”

“This is not the time for Republicans to drag their feet,” he added.

“We will keep pushing until the American people finally get the truth they deserve – nothing less,” Comer said.

Democrats pushed for a vote compelling Chairman Comer to issue a subpoena for the files, which Rep. Garcia hailed in a post on X as “a major victory for Oversight Democrats.”

‘That’s A Blatant Lie’: Tony Bobulinski Snaps At Dem Rep Who Says ‘No Evidence’ Of Biden ‘Wrongdoing’

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner Tony Bobulinski snapped back at Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia of California Wednesday after he asserted there is “no evidence” President Joe Biden did anything wrong.

Bobulinski claimed President Biden was the “brand” being sold in Hunter and his business dealings in his testimony to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. However, Garcia said Bobulinski did not offer a shred of evidence the president did anything improper at the hearing titled, “Influence Peddling: Examining Joe Biden’s Abuse of Public Office.”

WATCH:

“I just want to, for the record, be very clear that during Mr. Bobulinski’s testimony he has provided zero evidence, zero evidence of any sort of link between Hunter Biden and the president, as far as it relates to the business dealings,” Garcia said. “And so once again we’re back to a hearing where no evidence is being provided of any sort of wrongdoing by the present.”

“That’s a blatant lie,” Bobulinski retorted.

“Actually it’s my time, sir,” Garcia said, cutting Bobulinski off.

Garcia then accused Bobulinski of previously giving a “false answer” regarding who invited him to a presidential debate between Biden and former President Donald Trump.

“I actually don’t recall whose guest I was, but I attended the debate,” Bobulinski said during February testimony.

The two repeatedly clashed over the issue during Garcia’s five minutes of questioning. Garcia called into question Bobulinski’s assertion that he is not political while the businessman said his lawyers coordinated his events for him.

Bobulinski told Garcia it was “obvious” he was Trump’s guest.

“At that point I was trying to get the truth and the facts out to the American people at that moment in time,” Bobulinski told Garcia. “If I recall, I believe 80 million people watched that debate.”

Garcia called Bobulinski an “uncredible witness” to conclude his five minutes.

Bobulinski worked with Hunter prior to becoming a whistleblower. He told Congress in February that China successfully attempted to “infiltrate and compromise” Joe Biden and President Barack Obama’s White House.
