James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee has signed subpoenas for Hunter and James Biden and business associate Rob Walker. They have also requested testimony from President Biden’s daughter-in-law Hallie Biden, her sister Elizabeth Secundy, Hunter Biden’s wife Melissa Cohen, and Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski.
Comer announced:
“The House Oversight Committee has followed the money and built a record of evidence revealing how Joe Biden knew, was involved, and benefited from his family’s influence peddling schemes. Now, the House Oversight Committee is going to bring in members of the Biden family and their associates to question them on this record of evidence.”
“Unlike the many lies President Biden told the American people about his family’s business schemes, bank records don’t lie. These records reveal how the Bidens sold Joe Biden around to the world to benefit the Biden family, including Joe Biden himself, to the detriment of U.S. interests. The House Oversight Committee, along with the Committees on Judiciary and Ways and Means, will continue to follow the facts and deliver the transparency and accountability that the American people demand and deserve.”
A release from the House Oversight Committee said Comer plans to send additional subpoenas and transcribed interview requests later in the week. Comer recently said that the committee is now working on the downhill phase it its investigation. He intends to wrap it up without much further delay.
GOP investigators have been particularly interested in the flow of millions of dollars of suspicious money transfers from foreign dealings through a complicated web of businesses and bank accounts, slowly revealed over months of investigation. The various investigations into the Biden crime family were bundled together within the impeachment investigation into Joe Biden.

But they have not allayed the inquiries of House Republicans, who have expressed concerns about President Biden himself being tied to family influence-peddling schemes.
One recent area of interest has been a $200,000 check James Biden wrote to his brother Joe Biden in 2018 for a “loan repayment” from his personal account on the same day bank records show he received the same amount of money from a healthcare business. The White House rebuffed a request by Comer seeking proof of President Biden providing a loan to his sibling.
An attorney representing Hunter Biden, who is also facing a criminal investigation, sent a letter to new House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) earlier on Wednesday asking him to get Comer and other congressional investigators to lay off the Biden family, citing alleged lies about their endeavors.
Encouraging Johnson to be a “different” speaker who “restores the integrity and reputation of your chamber,” Lowell ended his letter by urging him to begin with holding Comer and other top impeachment investigators “to the facts and stopping them from continuing their partisan political games. The latest example of their hoping to do the opposite is ripe for your intervention.”
Johnson took over as speaker last month after Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted from the role. He told reporters last week that he would not “predetermine” an outcome.
“But I do believe that very soon we are coming to a point of decision on it,” Johnson said, adding that the impeachment inquiry phase is an “important step” in ensuring due process.
