(The Center Square) – House Oversight Republicans ratcheted up their investigation into Hunter Biden Thursday, calling on the president’s son and his associates to hand over documents that allegedly show illicit business dealings.
The committee demanded Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Eric Schwerin hand over documents concerning their foreign dealings. Critics allege Hunter used his father’s political clout to secure overseas deals that could have compromised the president.
“The American people deserve transparency and accountability about the Biden family’s influence peddling,” said Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., who chairs the oversight committee. “The Oversight Committee is committed to exposing the waste, fraud, and abuse that has taken place at the highest levels of our government.”
The committee is particularly interested in finding out to what extent President Joe Biden was involved in the dealings, or at least what he was aware of, arguing that if foreign entities know of any wrongdoing, it could compromise national security.
Oversight Republicans vowed after taking a majority in November to make this investigation one of their top concerns.
Hunter is currently under federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
“Evidence obtained in our investigation reveals the Biden family business model is built on Joe Biden’s political career and connections,” Comer said. “Biden family members attempted to sell access around the world, including individuals who were connected to the Chinese Communist Party, to enrich themselves to the detriment of American interests. If President Biden is compromised by deals with foreign adversaries and they are impacting his decision making, this is a threat to national security.”
The Hunter investigation has many legal avenues and opportunities for prosecution aside from foreign entanglements, including potential tax violations and false statements to federal law enforcement. Politically, Hunter’s investigation further complicates Biden’s 2024 aspirations, especially now that the president faces his own investigation over a trove of classified documents found in his possession from his time in the Obama administration.
Hunter has until Feb. 22 to respond to the committee’s letter. The committee is considering new ethics laws to explicitly prohibit certain elements of Hunter’s behavior.
“Evidence shows that you engaged in foreign business deals with individuals who were connected to the Chinese Communist Party and received significant amounts of money from foreign companies without providing any known legitimate services,” the committee’s letter to Hunter said. “The Committee is investigating President Biden’s knowledge of and role in these foreign business deals to assess whether he has compromised our national security at the expense of the American people. You and your associates’ financial conduct raises significant ethics and national security concerns.”
“Biden family members attempted to sell access around the world, including individuals who were connected to the Chinese Communist Party, to enrich themselves to the detriment of American interests. If President Biden is compromised by deals with foreign adversaries and they are impacting his decision making, this is a threat to national security.”
Joe Biden and Hunter Biden are guilty of treason.
I hope that this doesn’t turn out like the Hillary Clinton crimes that were never prosecuted and were just sweep under the Democrat Party Rug.
The executive branch of government will just continue to treat Hunter and Joe Biden’s illicit money laundered Chinese business deals, just like our incompetence and corruption,, woke infiltrated military dealt with the Chinese Spy balloons, many of whose parts like the Bidens, were born, bred and bought in the United States, bought in the currency of the same treasonous political greed used to buy American elections. First the Chinese over-inflate the bought and paid for Biden Crime family members, with bought elections, bought money, drugs, sexual stimulators, assurances of enough other Justice department planted government bought and paid for turncoat officials available to cover them from prosecutions that could reveal the depth of their Democrat double dealing Constitutional subversions, then when overinflated to the point of visibility, some innocent American stumbles into catching them on camera or knocks over a box of secret documents that fell off the back of Joe’s Corvette.that they are no longer useful, will be allowed to get shot down and cast aside like the Chinese bought useful idiots they became.
“The Union forever, Hurrah boys hurrah, down with the traitors up with the stars,
So, we’ll rally round the flag boys, we’ll rally once again, shouting the battle cry of Freedom.”
FROM THEM—–No more Get out of jail free cards! in this game of power monopoly.
The Dept of injustice is MORE LIBTARD ridden now, than they were when Clinton was gone after.. SO I FEAR ALL this, will NEVER EVER be punished..
All Hunter has to do is say they were all destroyed. And the FBI will probably not invade his home (wherever that is). And his dad is consummate SWAMP SCUM so Hunter has nothing to fear.
Apparently the smartest guy Joe knows is as dumb as his apparent Aped parent, and too stupid not to make himself more crooked with destroyed convicting evidence, what Crooked Hillary did to destroy honest American legal precedence, that destroyed and killed its relevance, destroyed governing benevolence, that should have led to impeachment and removal of two Democrat Party Presidents.
Hunter being investigated by doj/fbi is more like an opportunity for a coverup/destruction/loss (accidently) of any incriminating documents. There needs to be an uvestigating into all classified documents found as how they may have been used to business deals with China
As i often say, having the Dept of injustice/FBI investigate, is like asking the FOX “who broke into the hen house” WHILE ITS Still got the feathers in its mouth!
