The White House has characterized the investigation by House Republicans into alleged corruption by President Joe Biden and members of his family as a “baseless smear campaign,” but Matthew Whitaker told Newsmax on Thursday that Biden could easily make it go away.

“The White House could clear up all of this very simply,” Whitaker, former acting Attorney General in the Trump administration, said on “American Agenda.” “They could have Joe Biden explain these transactions, explain how much money he received from [his son] Hunter Biden while he was living in his guesthouse, and explain how he was able to pay cash for his real estate.

“I think there are so many questions here that Congress and the House that is investigating this that has every right to look into.”

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, issued subpoenas Wednesday to Biden’s brother James Biden, Hunter Biden, and Biden family associate Rob Walker to appear before the committee for depositions. Comer also requested additional members of the Biden family and their associates appear for transcribed interviews.
