Vote scheduled next week follows revelations Democrat-connected firm was meeting with U.S. embassy over Hunter Biden affair.
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday scheduled a vote for next week to issue a subpoena to a Democratic consulting firm that has emerged as a key figure in the probe of Hunter Biden's business activities in Ukraine.
The move by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., the committee's chairman, signals the panel's probe is escalating after months of interviews and gathering of documents, including Obama-era memos obtained from the National Archives.
The focus of the probe is whether Vice President Joe Biden, who led Obama's policy on Ukraine, engaged in the appearance of a conflict of interest or took any actions to assist the Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings while his son Hunter worked on its board and was paid more than $3 million to his U.S.-based firm.
Johnson said the subpoena would be issued to Blue Star Strategies, a Democratic consulting firm that worked for Burisma during the 2016 election cycle as the gas firm was trying to settle long-running Ukrainian criminal investigations against it.
Just the News reported Tuesday that newly unearthed memos show a Blue Star representative met directly with U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch in December 2016 to discuss Burisma and repairing its scandal-tarred image.

What the heck is Scott Brady doing? Will he be a Huber or Jensen?
I wonder if Linda Gramnesty’s panties are wadding up?
Great news! It’s about time! I really want to see the entire Biden family get their comeuppance.
It is a sham
Run by a Senator, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
And Mittens appears to be up to his eyeballs and on the wrong side again.
But....but, isn’t Hunter the “Dr. Anthony Fauci” of the natural gas industry?
.
It’s BS.
Lindsey Graham, Richard Burr, and Johnson are running Protection for Biden.
They are playing Stall until the Trump Admin is over.
If they wanted to do something, it would’ve been done years ago.
.
FYI
I will believe it when I see it. I seriously doubt Hunter or Joe Biden will show up, nor any of Obama’s admin.
So is this just a way for the rotten GOP Senate to get a better candidate than Joe Biden? I do not trust Senate to do much besides confirming judges.
Republican Senators are so SLOW FOOTED and SLOW WITTED......MOVE, you DOPES!
Just The News has been steadily making headway in providing All of us blistering information against the Derps and the Dems. That which seems insignificant now may be explosive later.
Kinda like a Storm it intensifies as it gets closer.
Senator Johnson makes a major move.
Was Senator Graham unavailable at the time or off spouting blather on a broadcast news show?
The GOP is useless...bet the vote fails!!!!!!!!!!
They only need one RINO I think
