Chairman of the House Oversight Committee James Comer (R-KY) presides over a Committee hearing titled “The Basis for an Impeachment Inquiry of President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.” on Capitol Hill on September 28, 2023 in Washington, DC. The hearing is expected to focus on the constitutional and legal questions House Republicans are raising about President Biden and his son Hunter Biden. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has announced he will be issuing subpoenas for bank records of personal and business accounts for Hunter Biden and James Biden. On Thursday, Comer (R-Ky.) announced that as a part of the House GOP impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, he will subpoena the bank records of his son Hunter Biden, his brother James Biden and their affiliated companies saying it is the “next step of [the] investigation.” According to House Republicans, top bank records might be the “smoking gun” proof lacking from their charges that President Biden was intimately involved in and benefited from his family’s domestic and foreign business dealings. Comer explained to the press earlier this week that he sought to subpoena Hunter and James Biden’s records because they want to “follow the money” that the Bidens and other family members allegedly obtained through shell businesses.
Comer stated that the panel got bank records indicating Hunter Biden received wires from Beijing with Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware, residence listed as the beneficiary address.
According to the committee, Hunter Biden collected more than $250,000 in the summer of 2019. In their announcement, the panel did not divulge the bank wires. Hunter Biden is said to have frequently exploited his father’s address and formerly lived in Wilmington. White House Spokesperson Ian Sams responded to the claims in a post on X, the social media formerly known as Twitter, saying that this is what “extreme republicans have sunken too.”
According to Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, the wires were loans and that Hunter Biden’s permanent residence at the time was his father’s home.
There is reportedly no indication yet that any of the money is tied to President Biden. |
