Representative Jim Jordan has officially subpoenaed Joe Biden’s ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer, who wrote his autobiography (which I guess technically isn’t an autobiography then).
As the National Pulse reported:
The subpoena comes as a response to Zwonitzer’s failure to disclose relevant documents pertaining to his interactions with Biden. The committee has raised concerns over President Biden’s potential sharing of classified information with Zwonitzer.“Despite President Biden’s unequivocal contradiction of these material facts, Special Counsel Hur’s report contains references to ‘audio recordings’ and ‘transcripts’ of your multiple conversations with President Biden ‘related to [your] ghostwriting work of [President] Biden’s memoirs,’” Jordan wrote in his letter to Zwonitzer.
The House Judiciary chairman’s letter requested Zwonitzer provide the committee, one of three leading the House Republican impeachment inquiry into President Biden, with additional documents they believe to be in his possession.“The potential legislative reforms that the Committee may consider… include… establishing clear statutory guidelines governing the handling, storage, and disclosure of classified materials… and modifying criminal penalties for the unauthorized dissemination and disclosure of classified materials,” Jordan wrote, adding, “The documents we have requested regarding your work as President Biden’s ghostwriter are necessary to inform such potential legislation.”
This came in the wake of the Robert Hur hearing, where Jordan notably said to Hur "I think you told us Mr. Hur. Page 231, you said this: 'President Biden had strong motivations.' That's a key word. We're getting a motive now. 'President Biden had strong motivations to ignore the proper procedures for safeguarding the classified information in his notebook.' Why did he have strong motivations? 'Because he decided months before leaving office to write a book.'"
When asked how much money Biden made from his book, Hur replied "Off the top of my head, I'm not sure if that information appears in the report." Jordan then reminded him that the amount was in his report, to which Hur replied that it “may be $8 million.”
“Then Biden had eight million reasons to lie” Jordan pointed out.
