WASHINGTON - The White House is hitting back against House Republicans and their impeachment inquiry into the president by demanding that GOP lawmakers withdraw their subpoenas targeting Biden family members and administration officials.

In a letter obtained by NBC News, White House counsel Richard Sauber called the requests for information and interviews “unjustified,” and characterized the overall impeachment inquiry as “illegitimate.” The letter, dated Friday, was addressed to House Oversight Chair James Comer, R-Ky., and Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.

Sauber described the requests of information from the private citizens as an example of weaponizing the power of Congress to attack a political opponent.

The subpoenas of Biden family members came after House Republicans obtained thousands of pages of bank records connected to James and Hunter Biden. They released details on two interest-free loans from the president to his brother that were repaid in full during the period when Biden was not in office. Comer suggested that the loan arrangement was part of a suspicious business deal involving James Biden, but did not provide definitive...

Screw the White Hut. After 6 years of trying to destroy President Trump and his family a little suffering is good for the souls in the White Hut.

Joe and company need to stall until the August 2024 DNC convention.

The rat commanders don’t want the public to pick their candidate. Joe must win the rigged primary then withdraw before the convention. He will be free to pardon himself and all of his family members for any crime committed past and future.

After the trials they need to keep the family members and administration officials in the same cell block so they can blame each other it’ll sound lie a chicken farm.
