House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer Calls for Investigation into Biden Family’s Foreign Business Practices and Influence Peddling Schemes

House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has written a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to investigate President Joe Biden’s involvement in his family’s foreign business practices and international influence peddling schemes. The committee is also considering drafting legislation to restrict the activities of elected officials’ families.

The investigation comes after Twitter temporarily suppressed a 2020 story about Hunter Biden and his laptop. Comer stated that “Now that Democrats no longer have one-party rule in Washington, oversight and accountability are coming.”

The House Republicans have asked the Treasury Department to turn over documents related to the business ventures of President Joe Biden’s family members, including “suspicious activity reports” connected to Hunter Biden and his brother James Biden.

The letter from Comer to Yellen requests documents related to the Biden family’s business activities, including any records of suspicious activity reports, foreign transactions, and any other financial documents related to the Biden family.

The investigation is part of a larger effort by House Republicans to investigate the Biden family finances and alleged political influence over technology companies. The committee is also considering drafting legislation to restrict the activities of elected officials’ families. It is unclear at this time when the investigation will be completed or what the outcome will be.
