Subpoena Served On Biden’s Ghostwriter In Classified Documents Scandal
On Friday, the House Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena to Mark Zwonitzer, the ghostwriter behind Joe Biden’s memoir “Promise Me, Dad.” This step is the latest development in the Judiciary’s rigorous oversight investigation into Special Counsel Robert Hur’s examination of Biden’s handling of classified records.
Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) spearheaded the action, highlighting the seriousness with which the committee is taking the allegations against Biden and his associates. Zwonitzer’s reluctance to voluntarily provide documents has led to the escalation.
The controversy centers around Zwonitzer’s handling of classified material, which he was privy to while working with Biden. During his tenure as vice president, allegations suggest Biden disclosed classified information to Zwonitzer. The writer then deleted recordings of interviews exposing the classified information. Special Counsel Hur’s report documents instances where Biden purportedly shared classified notes with Zwonitzer. Hur declined to file criminal charges against Biden after his investigation, stating potential jurors would see Biden as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man.”
This development comes amid broader inquiries into the Justice Department’s conduct, particularly regarding its alleged interference in a tax investigation concerning Biden’s son, Hunter. The Judiciary’s relentless pursuit of clarity and accountability sharply contrasts the hesitancy exhibited by other branches of the government.
The implications of Zwonitzer’s actions and Biden’s potential mishandling of classified information extend beyond mere procedural missteps. They touch on issues of national security and the integrity of the presidency. The subpoena, demanding Zwonitzer provide all pertinent documents and communications by April 12, signifies the committee’s resolve in addressing these concerns.
The response from the Biden camp has been one of denial, with the president asserting that he never shared classified materials with his ghostwriter. However, the evidence outlined in Hur’s
report contradicts these claims, highlighting discrepancies in the White House’s narrative.
As the situation unfolds, the actions of the House Judiciary Committee, under Chairman Jordan’s leadership, reflect a broader demand for transparency and accountability from our leaders. The subpoena served to Zwonitzer will hopefully indicate that House Republicans are moving forward with purpose in discovering the truth about Biden’s duplicity and allegedly illegal actions.
