House Republicans are stepping up their investigation into the financial dealings of President Joe Biden’s family, demanding the president’s son, brother and an associate turn over banking, travel and other documents and communications.
Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer said the scrutiny is aimed at the president’s involvement in his family’s international and domestic business transactions, including associates “who peddled influence to generate millions of dollars for the Biden family.”
Comer describes Hunter Biden and James Biden, the president’s brother, as “key witnesses in our investigation” into what he says were attempts by Biden family members to sell access around the world, “including individuals who were connected to the Chinese Communist Party.” The demands come a day after Comer’s committee held a hearing into claims that Twitter Inc., worked with U.S. intelligence officials to suppress an unflattering 2020 news story on Hunter Biden’s laptop. No direct evidence for that was produced during the hearing.
Last month, the U.S. Treasury Department refused to provide House Republicans any suspicious activity reports it may have on foreign banking and other business transactions by Hunter Biden and other members of President Biden’s family.
