GOP lawmakers say the documents prove wrongdoing by the president's son, but Democrats assert they are cherry-picking information for a political hit on his father.

Wednesday, providing ample fodder for the newly launched House GOP impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden that will center on his son Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.

“This evidence makes clear Hunter Biden’s business was selling the Biden ‘brand’ and that access to the White House was his family’s most valuable asset,” Smith said. Wednesday’s document dump marks the second time that the committee has exercised its unique authority to release confidential tax information belonging to Hunter Biden that would otherwise be protected by strict taxpayer privacy laws.

But while Republicans continued to insist that the Justice Department interfered in the criminal tax probe of the president’s son, Democrats pushed back on several claims that the GOP has made about the investigation — including that the IRS whistleblowers were retaliated against and that the lead prosecutor, Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, was previously denied special counsel status earlier in the investigation.
