House Republicans Launch Investigation Into Joe and Hunter Biden

Now that the House has a majority, they can finally launch real investigations.

In a breaking news conference, new House Oversight Chair Rep. James Comer officially launched an investigation into Joe and Hunter Hunter Biden.

Rep. Comer stated the basis of the investigation is based on the question “Was Joe Biden directly involved with Hunter Biden’s business deals and is he compromised? That’s our investigation”.

Fox News shared these details:

Republican Reps. James Comer and Jim Jordan alleged at a press conference Thursday that President Biden was actively involved in overseas business dealings alongside his son Hunter.

Comer, citing whistleblowers, asserted that the Biden family “flourished and became millionaires by simply offering access to the family.”

“Was Joe Biden directly involved with Hunter Biden’s business deals, and is he compromised? That’s our investigation,” Comer said.

Comer is the incoming chair of the House Oversight Committee and Jordan is expected to soon chair the Judiciary Committee.

The representatives alleged that Hunter Biden and Joe Biden participated in “waste, fraud, and abuse” in international business dealings.

The Republicans are releasing a report Thursday outlining their findings.

The federal investigation into Hunter Biden and his tax affairs has reached a “critical stage,” a source told Fox News, as officials are looking into whether to charge President Biden’s son with various tax violations, possible foreign lobbying violations and more.

The Republicans say they have uncovered evidence of conspiracy or defrauding the United States, wire fraud, violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, money laundering, tax evasion, and other crimes.

Jim Jordan would also speak about the investigation:

NBC News added these details:

House Republicans’ majority will be smaller than expected, but they’re eager to use their new oversight powers and pass a spate of bills to draw contrasts with Democrats and give the Biden administration heartburn.

In this moment of divided government and fierce partisanship, it’s perhaps appropriate that the GOP conference is expected to be led by Reps. Kevin McCarthy of California and Steve Scalise of Louisiana, veteran lawmakers known more for their skills in political combat than for their policy acumen.

Although House Republicans will still face a Democratic White House and Senate aimed at blocking their legislative aims, McCarthy — who is working feverishly to cement his ascension to speaker despite growing discontent in his ranks — has already made it clear the party plans to launch investigations into the Biden administration and at least one of the president’s family members.
