The latest salvo came when Democrats on the House Oversight Committee voted down a resolution to investigate Hunter Biden, the president's son. Nineteen Republicans, led by ranking member Rep. James Comer , forced the vote but were turned away by the committee's 23 Democrats."Oversight Republicans’ ongoing investigation has revealed the Biden family has peddled access to the highest levels of government to enrich themselves, and, unfortunately, often to the detriment of U.S.
The president was asked about the investigations during last week's 60 Minutes interview, coming to his son's defense. Comer alleges that the Biden administration's Treasury Department changed its policy for releasing Suspicious Activity Reports to Congress and has written to Secretary Janet Yellen twice asking for SARS generated for Biden family members. Those requests were denied, according to Comer.
"Every day, their lead in the polls decreases, and they are resorting to desperate measures, trying to tackle issues that voters don't care about," he said, adding that Democrats might be best off simply not responding to GOP claims."Next thing you know, they'll start demanding the Russians turn over Hillary Clinton's emails."
There are other investigations into Hunter Biden. He revealed he was under federal inquiry for his taxes shortly after the 2020 election, and he is reportedly also being scrutinized for possible money laundering, as well as for possible foreign lobbying violations under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
