President turns down invitation to testify.

President Joe Biden will not be testifying to U.S. House of Representatives members who are engaged in an impeachment inquiry against him, the White House said on April 15.

Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, told House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) that the president would not testify in the โ€œpartisan charade.โ€

โ€œYour committeeโ€™s purported โ€˜impeachment inquiryโ€™ has succeeded only in turning up abundant evidence that, in fact, the president has done nothing wrong,โ€ Mr. Sauber said in a letter to Mr. Comer.

โ€œYour insistence on peddling these false and unsupported allegations despite ample evidence to the contrary makes one thing about your investigation abundantly clear: The facts do not matter to you,โ€ he added.

Republicans in their investigation have found that millions of dollars flowed from businesses and individuals, including foreigners, to members of the Biden family while President Biden was vice president.

Theyโ€™ve also identified payments from Hunter Bidenโ€™s business to the president, and from the presidentโ€™s brother to him, as well as emails between President Biden and an associate of Hunter Biden. Several witnesses, meanwhile, testified that President Biden would get on the phone with Hunter Bidenโ€™s associates and that he attended multiple meals with them.

President Biden and the White House have maintained that he was not involved with the business undertaken by his son and brother.

Mr. Comer wrote to the president in March, saying the evidence โ€œwholly contradicts your position.โ€

โ€œIn light of the yawning gap between your public statements and the evidence assembled by the committee, as well as the White Houseโ€™s obstruction, it is in the best interest of the American people for you to answer questions from members of Congress directly, and I hereby invite you to do so,โ€ Mr. Comer wrote at the time.

โ€œThe apple doesnโ€™t fall far from the tree in the Biden family. Like his son, Hunter Biden, President Biden is refusing to testify in public about the Bidensโ€™ corrupt influence peddling,โ€ Mr. Comer said Monday.
