Last week, Comer Sended requests Hunter Biden’s documents and other information. Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, You replied with a response 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 see if Comer will accept Lowell’s offer. The Republican-led panel that he chairs has subpoena powers and could escalate the situation in the days ahead. Hunter Biden is being investigated by federal prosecutors for tax crimes, among other things. The First Son said that he is. Certain He will be freed from 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 with the Saudis.
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.”
The lawmakers can’t get to a “bipartisan legislative solution” until “we know the extent of what the Biden family influence peddling involved, especially with respect to Communist China,” Comer, he said.
