Republicans have won the House. Now, they’re promising to investigate the Bidens – By Deirdre Walsh and Ximena Bustillo (NPR) / Nov 17, 2022
Two top House Republicans — Rep. James Comer and Rep. Jim Jordan — who are expected to chair the House Oversight and Judiciary committees next year are planning to lay out the evidence they say they have gathered from whistleblowers that show President Biden’s son, Hunter, engaged in influence peddling and his father, potentially while serving as vice president, may have benefitted financially.
In a press conference on Thursday, Comer accused the Biden family of defrauding the United States, tax evasion, violating several laws and money laundering, among other accusations.
“The President’s participation in enriching his family is, in a word, abuse of the highest order,” Comer said. “I want to be clear: This is an investigation of Joe Biden, and that’s where our focus will be next Congress.”
Ahead of the press conference Comer said the evidence has never been “packaged together” and that his intention with laying out the information was to “make it very clear that from this point on, this is no longer the Hunter Biden investigation. This is the Joe Biden investigation.” He called Hunter Biden a “corrupt national security threat” — claiming his panel has evidence of relationships with Chinese, Russian and Ukrainian officials.
