'It's getting old': Jim Jordan scolded by MAGA over 'boring' letter to White House
Conservatives blasted Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and James Comer (R-KY) on Wednesday after they used an ongoing impeachment inquiry to demand the White House hand over materials about Hunter Biden.
In a letter to White House Counsel Edward Siskel, Jordan and Comer suggested President Joe Biden sought to obstruct his son's deposition, which did not occur due to a dispute about the venue.
"The Committees specifically notified Mr. [Hunter] Biden, via his attorney, that his failure to appear for the deposition as required by the subpoenas would lead to the Committees initiating contempt of Congress proceedings," the letter states. "Mr. Biden indicated that he would not appear for the deposition as required by the subpoenas and that he would only testify in a public forum."
A spokesperson for the president, Karine Jean-Pierre, had said he was "familiar with what his son was going to say," the letter notes.
"Ms. Jean-Pierre's statement suggests that the President had some amount of advanced knowledge that Mr. Biden would choose to defy two congressional subpoenas," Jordan and Comer wrote.

The letter demanded the White House Counsel produce "[a]ll documents and communications sent or received by employees of the Executive Office of the President regarding the deposition of Hunter Biden."
But apparently conservatives were not impressed by the letter.
"How many impeachable offenses do you guys need before you impeach him????" one MAGA supporter wrote on the social media platform X.
"Ohh another strong letter…. That'll show them," another quipped.
"Thank you for your long, boring letter! I'm sure this one will do the trick," Chad West complained.
"All talk and that's about it," Chris Pressley commented. "Go ahead and write all the letters you want. Post when YOU PEEPS actually accomplish something! It's getting old."
