共和党控制的众议院监督委员会周二宣布，将举行关于总统的公开听证会乔·拜登下周四，也就是9月28日，是众议院成立以来的第一次推出了它的控告询价，消息人士告诉ABC新闻。
“我们将有三个可信的证人，”董事长詹姆斯·卡莫，R-Ky。，告诉ABC新闻。“我们希望能够解释弹劾调查到底是什么，目的是什么。”
其他证人将是金融法律专家和外国代理人注册——谈论共和党人认为他们收集的关于拜登家族商业交易的所谓“证据”。
“监督委员会将继续追踪证据和资金去向，以提供美国人要求政府提供的透明度和问责制，”委员会的一份声明说。

卡莫还表示，共和党人最快将于本周传唤亨特·拜登和总统的儿子和弟弟詹姆斯·拜登的银行记录。

他说:“一旦弹劾调查的文书工作完成，你就会看到传票已经发出。”。
当被问及为什么委员会尚未传唤总统的记录时，卡莫说，这是因为调查人员没有发现证据表明他收到了任何被审查的资金。
“我们会跟踪这笔钱……无论是中国、罗马尼亚、乌克兰、俄罗斯、乌兹别克斯坦，它都是通过一个空壳公司——或者两三个——然后分散到拜登家族的九个不同成员手中，”他说。
"目前，他还不是拜登家族的九名成员之一."
白宫是坚称总统没有做错任何事，而且在对他和亨特·拜登的业务往来之间的任何关系进行调查后，没有证据表明情况并非如此。
白宫发言人伊恩·萨姆斯(Ian Sams)抨击了听证会的时间，如果没有达成资金协议，政府可能会在两天前关闭。
萨姆斯说:“极端众议院共和党人主义者已经在展示他们的计划，试图转移人们对他们混乱无能的治理以及它对国家的影响的注意力。”。他在一份声明中写道:“在他们可能关闭政府之前的最后几天举行政治噱头听证会，揭示了他们真正的优先事项:对他们来说，对拜登总统进行毫无根据的人身攻击，比防止政府关闭及其给美国家庭带来的痛苦更重要。”
House Republicans set 1st Biden impeachment inquiry public hearing
The GOP-controlled House Oversight Committee on Tuesday announced it would hold a public hearing on the PresidentJoe Bidenfamily's business dealings next Thursday Sept. 28, the first since the Houselaunched itsimpeachmentinquiry,sources told ABC News.
"We're going to have three credible witnesses," chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told ABC News. "We want to be able to explain what exactly an impeachment inquiry is, and what the purpose is."
The other witnesses will be financial law experts and foreign agent registration -- to talk about the alleged "evidence" Republican believe they have gathered about the Biden family's business dealings.
"The Oversight Committee will continue to follow the evidence and money trail to provide the transparency and accountability that Americans demand from their government," a committee statement said.
Comer also said that Republicans would subpoena bank records for Hunter Biden and James Biden -- the president's son and brother -- as soon as this week.
"As soon as all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed with respect to the paperwork for the impeachment inquiry, then you will see the subpoenas go out the door," he said.
Asked why the committees have not yet subpoenaed the president's records, Comer said it's because investigators have not uncovered evidence that he received any of the scrutinized funds.
"We'll follow the money … whether it be China, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Uzbekistan, it went from there through a shell company -- or two or three -- and then it was dispersed to nine different Biden family members," he said.
"At this point, he has not been one of the nine Biden family members."
The White House isadamant that the president did nothing wrong, and that there is no evidence to suggest otherwise after an investigation into any relationship between him and Hunter Biden's business dealings.
White House spokesperson Ian Sams slammed the timing of the hearing just two days before the government could shut down if no funding deal is reached.
“Extreme House Republicans are already telegraphing their plans to try to distract from their own chaotic inability to govern and the impacts of it on the country," Sams said. "Staging a political stunt hearing in the waning days before they may shut down the government reveals their true priorities: to them, baseless personal attacks on President Biden are more important than preventing a government shutdown and the pain it would inflict on American families," he wrote in a statement.
