A Senate inquiry targeting former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter is moving slower than expected, reports The Hill.
Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, told the news outlet he doesn’t foresee a report on the election-year investigation into Hunter Biden’s work for a Ukrainian energy firm until at least Sept. 15. Last month Johnson said he anticipated an Aug. 7 release date.
"I don't see a report coming out here before August. I think a lot of interviews are going to be conducted in August," Johnson told The Hill. "We've kind of set a target date for September 15. And I've said 'Okay, guys, that has to be hard and fast.'"
The process has been slowed by interviews, but Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, hinted Wednesday that he will soon be issuing subpoenas.
"We're trying to work with all these people to bring them in voluntarily, but even that takes time. There's wrangling over condition on interviews. It just takes way more time," Johnson said. "You might start seeing some subpoenas, too."
At issue is Hunter Biden’s position on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian oil and gas company with a history of corruption. He held the role while his father served as VP under President Barack Obama.
President Donald Trump last year urged Ukraine to undertake a probe into whether Biden sought to remove a Ukrainian prosecutor for investigating Burisma.
