WASHINGTON — Hours after Joe Biden delivers his State of the Union Address to Congress, House Republicans will launch their promised investigation into alleged Biden family “influence peddling,” effectively nullifying any message of unity the president may deliver.
Expected to testify at the Feb. 8 hearing are several former Twitter Inc. officials who Republicans believe were involved in efforts to restrict access to a 2020 New York Post article about business activities and other contents of a laptop purportedly owned by Hunter Biden, the president’s son, a person familiar said.
House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, in a recent interview, accused the Biden family of selling “access for profit around the world to the detriment of American interests.” The Kentucky Republican has previously said the Biden administration and Big Tech have worked together to “hide information about the Biden family’s suspicious business schemes and Joe Biden’s involvement.”
