House Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) has requested that Adam Schiff and Joe Biden testify at the impeachment hearings.
Republicans are still pushing the conspiracy theories:
Judiciary top Republican Collins requests 8 witnesses, including Schiff, Hunter Biden, whistleblower, Nellie Ohr …and the unidentifed IC employee who Lt. Col. Vindman talked to after the July 25 call. Most were rejected as witnesses by Schiff for last month's Intel hearings.

Republicans aren’t giving up on pushing conspiracy theories. Hunter Biden and Adam Schiff are not going to testify at the Judiciary Committee impeachment hearings. Republican ranking member Devin Nunes tried this same White House directed stunt for the Intelligence Committee hearings, and it went nowhere, but it did allow Nunes how the process was unfair because he couldn’t call his conspiracy theory witnesses who had nothing to do with Trump’s conduct.
Senate Republicans have already said that they are not going to call Adam Schiff to testify at the Trump impeachment trial, and they have no desire to get the Bidens involved in Trump’s impeachment.
House Republicans are trying to muddy the waters with conspiracies. Democrats wouldn’t allow the impeachment investigation to become a circus, and they aren’t going to allow the formal impeachment hearings to become a festival of chaos.
