Schumer Criticizes Senate Committee’s Plans to Vote on Subpoena for Biden-Burisma Probe

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is criticizing the Senate Homeland Security Committee’s decision to vote on issuing a subpoena for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s son, 👤Hunter Biden, as the country works to contain the coronavirus pandemic.

The Democratic lawmaker is blasting the Republican-led panel, arguing that they should be prioritizing the efforts to mitigate the 🦠Coronavirus Outbreak.

“We’re in the middle of a public health and economic crisis, but instead of holding oversight hearings about testing, PPE, or bringing in the FEMA administrator, Senate Republicans are choosing to pursue diversionary, partisan conspiracy theories to prop up President Trump,” Schumer said.

A new memo obtained by Politico confirms the Senate committee has a plan in motion to vote on chairman Ron Johnson’s request for a subpoena next Wednesday.

If the vote is passed, a subpoena will be issued to the Democratic public-relations firm, Blue Star Strategies, as part of the investigation into 👤Hunter Biden and the U.S. Department of State run by President Barack Obama’s administration.
