President Biden’s younger brother, James Biden, is in active negotiations to appear for a deposition before House Republicans, Fox News has learned.
The younger Biden was subpoenaed as part of the investigation into Hunter Biden and President Biden in November.
House Republicans leading the impeachment inquiry into President Biden believe that James has knowledge of Hunter’s business deals and whether the president was involved.
The president’s brother was scheduled to appear for a closed-door deposition in early December, but that date came and went. Conversations continue between the House Oversight Committee and Biden’s legal team.

“I’m going to hold off criticism of the president’s brother. He obviously has due process and we have heard from his attorney. We’re trying to make that work and I feel like that’ll happen soon,” House Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said last month.
The Washington Post reported in December that James Biden’s conversations were swept up in an FBI investigation, though he was not the target.

According to the Post, Biden’s conversations were recorded as part of an FBI investigation into a Mississippi attorney named Richard “Dickie” Scruggs.
The outlet reported that the FBI secretly recorded conversations involving Biden because of his relationship with Scruggs, who went to federal prison for a bribery conviction involving a judge.
