WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden’s brother has told lawmakers that the president “never had any involvement” in the family’s business dealings. That statement came from James Biden when he appeared for a voluntary private interview Wednesday on Capitol Hill as part of House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry. The more than eight-hour interview was the latest in a series that GOP lawmakers have conducted recently as they try to rebuild momentum for an impeachment process surrounding the Biden family’s overseas finances. The investigation faced a major blow last week. An FBI informant who had claimed there was a multimillion-dollar bribery scheme involving the president, his son Hunter, and a Ukrainian energy company was charged with fabricating the story.
