WASHINGTON — House Republicans are stepping up their investigation into the financial dealings of President Joe Biden’s family, demanding the president’s son, brother and an associate turn over banking, travel and other documents and communications.
Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer said the scrutiny is aimed at the president’s involvement in his family’s international and domestic business transactions, including associates “who peddled influence to generate millions of dollars for the Biden family.”
Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, responded in a letter that such requests have no valid legislative purpose, and that congressional Republicans’ investigations into the private affairs of the son of a sitting president and other family members “are at their most limited.”
