House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) sent two letters Saturday demanding documents from the White House General Counsel and a highly connected appointee of President Joe Biden, who purchased a piece of Hunter Biden’s artwork.
Last week, Business Insider reported that Elizabeth Hirsch Naftali, a Los Angeles-based real estate investor and appointee of President Joe Biden, had purchased one of Hunter Biden’s art pieces. Naftali was appointed to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad in July 2022, which was after Hunter Biden’s first art show in Hollywood.Naftali purchased the piece for as much as $500,000 from the Georges Bergés Gallery, according to Insider.
From Delery, the committee is seeking any documents and communication between the White House, Naftali, and Bergés — Hunter Biden’s gallerist. “This system, however, seems to have failed because Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali’s identity as a purchaser of this art has become public,” Comer said in the letter to Delery.
“Reports have identified you as the purchaser of at least one of these pieces, which have been priced as high as $500,000,” Comer’s letter to Naftali reads. “These facts raise the Committee’s concerns, and the Committee seeks documents and information regarding your purchase of Hunter Biden art.”This comes amid intense scrutiny of the Biden family’s finances and business dealings and if those have influenced President Biden’s actions.
