r
epublicans on the House Oversight Committee and have demanded that Democrat President Joe Biden’s family members hand over documents related to their shady foreign business dealings.
On Thursday, the Committee made a formal request to Hunter Biden to surrender information and records related to his deals.
Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) also sent requests for records to the president’s brother, James Biden, and Hunter’s business partner, Eric Schwerin.
The requests come as Republicans investigate whether members of the Biden family leveraged Joe Biden’s position as vice president to “sell access around the world.”
“If President Biden is compromised by deals with foreign adversaries and they are impacting his decision making, this is a threat to national security,” Comer warned in a statement.
“The American people deserve transparency and accountability about the Biden family’s influence peddling.
“The Oversight Committee is committed to exposing the waste, fraud, and abuse that has taken place at the highest levels of our government.
“Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Eric Schwerin’s documents, records, and communications are critical to this investigation,” he added.
Hunter Biden and the others were given a February 22 deadline to respond before Republicans will consider issuing a subpoena.
Abbe Lowell, Hunter Biden’s counsel, responded to Comer in a letter on Thursday.
