House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) is calling on Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Eric Schwerin to provide documents, communications, and records related to President Biden’s involvement in his family’s business schemes, according to a press release.
The Oversight Committee is conducting a thorough investigation into President Biden’s involvement in his family’s foreign business dealings to determine if national security has been compromised.
The Committee is also looking into the need for legislation that strengthens federal ethics laws regarding public officials and their families.
Moreover, the Committee will review existing federal laws and regulations and make recommendations to ensure that financial institutions have effective internal controls and compliance programs to detect potential money laundering activities.
“Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Eric Schwerin are key witnesses in our investigation of Joe Biden’s involvement in his family’s international and domestic business schemes,” said Chairman Comer.
“Evidence obtained in our investigation reveals the Biden family business model is built on Joe Biden’s political career and connections. Biden family members attempted to sell access around the world, including individuals who were connected to the Chinese Communist Party, to enrich themselves to the detriment of American interests,” he went on to say.
Rep. Comer warned Biden’s potentially “compromised” foreign business dealings could pose a “threat to national security.”
“If President Biden is compromised by deals with foreign adversaries and they are impacting his decision making, this is a threat to national security,” he said.
“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,” Comer added.
