In the next phase of the impeachment inquiry against President Biden, former business associates of Hunter Biden are set to testify publicly on Capitol Hill. The House Oversight Committee Chairman, James Comer, will open the hearing by stating that investigators have found no credible evidence of the Bidens providing any work product and have not identified any legitimate value or document or even a single hour of work that the Bidens have provided their business partners.

According to excerpts obtained by Fox News Digital, Comer will emphasize that the Bidens do not work in any traditional sense and instead sell the influence and power of Joe Biden himself. He will suggest that Joe Biden has taken actions to further his family's financial gain and explain the alleged scheme where the Biden family promises to resolve foreign partners' problems by engaging the U.S. government, resulting in millions of dollars flowing into the Bidens' pockets.

The public hearing, scheduled for Wednesday, will feature Tony Bobulinski, a U.S. Navy veteran, and Jason Galanis, currently serving a prison sentence. Bobulinski will testify in person, while Galanis will virtually join from Federal Prison Camp in Alabama.

Democrats have also invited Lev Parnas, a former associate of former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, to testify publicly. However, Hunter Biden has refused the invitation to testify, despite his previous requests for a public hearing. Hunter's former associate, Devon Archer, is also not expected to attend.

Comer has expressed his frustration with Hunter Biden's refusal to testify, stating that during the deposition phase of the investigation, Hunter confirmed key evidence, including the fact that Joe Biden attended meetings, spoke on speakerphone, and had interactions with his foreign business associates who allegedly funneled millions to the Bidens. Comer had previously subpoenaed Hunter Biden for a closed-door deposition, but Hunter demanded a public hearing instead.

During his deposition last month, Hunter Biden maintained that his father was never involved in or benefited from his business ventures. However, he did acknowledge putting his father on speakerphone with his business associates and inviting him to business lunches. Archer's previous testimony revealed that Hunter put his father on speakerphone with business associates at least 20 times.

The upcoming hearing will primarily focus on the testimony of Bobulinski, who worked with Hunter to create the joint venture SinoHawk Holdings and personally met with Joe Biden for over 45 minutes in 2017. Bobulinski alleges that Joe Biden enabled his son to sell access to adversarial countries like China and Russia. Galanis will also provide testimony regarding Joe Biden's involvement in business dealings with Hunter.

Democrats have criticized the impeachment investigation, with Rep. Jamie Raskin stating that it originated from lies told by Lev Parnas, who was in close proximity to Russian agents. Raskin believes that Parnas can debunk the allegations against Joe Biden and shed light on how the GOP ended up in their current position.

As the public impeachment hearing unfolds, the testimonies of these former business associates of Hunter Biden are expected to shed more light on the allegations and controversies surrounding the Biden family's business dealings.
