NEW YORK, November 18. /TASS/. Republicans have no plans to subpoena President Joe Biden to give testimony as part of the investigation into his activities, Congressman Jim Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, said on Friday.

"There’s no plans to subpoena Joe Biden. There are plans to subpoena [Biden’s son] Hunter Biden," he said in an interview with CNN.

Comer is expected to chair the Oversight and Reform Committee in the new House of Representatives, which is to begin working in January. Control over the House of Representatives is going over to the Republicans following the November 8 midterm elections.

According to Comer, it is quite "complicated" to subpoena the incumbent president to give testimony. However, in his words, the probe is focused on the president rather than on his son.

He told a news conference on Thursday that House Republicans were launching their first probe into President Biden’s supposed participation in the international business schemes of his family members. From the lawmaker's perspective, there are " questions about whether President Biden is a national security risk" and whether he has been compromised by some other government.

Ahead of the midterms, House Republicans warned that in case of their victory they would launch a number of probes into the activities of the sitting president and his family.
