Jim Jordan announces subpoena of Biden's ghostwriter named in classified docs report

House Republicans are going after President Joe Biden's ghostwriter in the latest stage of their investigation.

According to UPI, "Jordan, citing Special Counsel Robert K. Hur's report, alleges Biden read classified documents to [Mark] Zwonitzer for Biden's memoirs ... It's the latest GOP effort in an attempt to impeach Biden without yet identifying any specific high crimes or misdemeanors that would justify an impeachment."

Jordan's letter to Zwonitzer stated, "Despite President Biden’s unequivocal contradiction of these material facts, Special Counsel Hur’s report contains references to 'audio recordings' and 'transcripts' of your multiple conversations with President Biden 'related to [your] ghostwriting work of [President] Biden’s memoirs[.]' In particular, Special Counsel Hur noted that once FBI agents contacted you relating to your ghostwriting work on President Biden’s memoirs, you 'provided investigators records that included near-verbatim transcripts and . . . audio recordings.' Special Counsel Hur also noted that shortly after he began his investigation, you took steps to conceal some of these recordings and transcripts."

Hur did not conclude there was sufficient evidence to charge Biden with a crime in his investigation into classified documents that turned up in his personal papers, and his report outlined clear differences between this case and the charges against Trump for the Mar-a-Lago document stash. However, his editorialization about Biden, and apparent false claims about the president's lapses of memory, have led to harsh criticism from legal experts.

All of this comes as Jordan's flagship effort to impeach Joe Biden over his son's business dealings appears moribund, with even Fox News throwing GOP lawmakers under the bus for failing to find any evidence.

It also comes as watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has filed a scathing letter accusing Jordan of abusing his oversight power to threaten and intimidate political opponents.
