Leading House Republican claims that the congressional investigation into Hunter Biden’s conduct is crucial to creating a new environment. “legislative fix” to stop unsavory financial entanglements that could involve the president of the United States.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) repeatedly stressed a need for legislation during an interview Sunday, days after Biden’s attorney denied the oversight panel’s request for information, It was claimed. “no legislative purpose.”
“We need to know what is allowable and what isn’t allowable,” Comer told ABC News’s “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos. “We need to have strict ethics laws and we need to significantly increase the disclosure laws in America. I think this investigation is going to be very important to fix a problem before it gets out of hand.”
Republicans in Congress are looking into whether President Joe Biden was involved in financial schemes that cost millions of dollars to Hunter Biden in countries like Russia, China, and Ukraine. The elder Biden stated that he was a candidate for the presidency. Hunter Biden was never a friend. Comer spoke out about his foreign ventures but Comer said that congressional investigators are involved “have evidence that would suggest otherwise.”
Joe Biden’s relatives made millions of dollars from China and other adversaries. This could jeopardize national security.
To prevent the family members of those at power from selling access, we need to have stronger ethics and financial disclosure laws.

Last week, Comer Send requests Hunter Biden and others for documents and information. Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, I replied back with a reply The oversight panel agreed. “lacks a legitimate legislative purpose and oversight basis for requesting such records from Mr. Biden, who is a private citizen.”
Lowell also offered to meet with Comer’s committee “to see whether Mr. Biden has information that may inform some legitimate legislative purpose and be helpful to the Committee.”
It remains to be determined if Comer will accept Lowell on this offer. His Republican-led panel has the power to subpoena and could increase the standoff in coming days. Hunter Biden is also being investigated by federal prosecutors. The First Son said that he is. Certain He will be exonerated of any wrongdoing.
On Sunday, Comer said any legislation Congress comes up with can be bipartisan, acknowledging how Democrats have raised concerns about the foreign business dealings of former President Donald Trump’s family. In particular, Stephanopoulos mentioned Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and His ties to Saudi Arabia.
Comer claimed Kusher is different from the Bidens in that he has interviewed investigators. Comer stated that the Bidens, on the other hand, are “doing everything they can to block our investigation.”
It is impossible for lawmakers to reach a “bipartisan legislative solution” until “we know the extent of what the Biden family influence peddling involved, especially with respect to Communist China,” Comer stated.
