(The Guardian) GOP planning investigation of 'Biden family influence peddling' if they take House
If they win a majority in the House in the 8 November midterms, Republicans intend to make an investigation of “Biden family influence peddling” a priority next year, a top GOP lawmaker said today.
Kentucky lawmaker James Comer is the top Republican on the House oversight and reform committee, and in a Republican-led Congress would assume chairmanship of the panel that conducts investigations. In an interview on Fox Business. he made clear that an investigation into Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden would be announced very soon after the new legislative session begins in the new year..
Hunter Biden has been under federal investigation since 2018, and the GOP has long seized on his business dealings to try to paint his father as corrupt. Multiple media outlets reported last week that prosecutors believe they have evidence to charge Hunter Biden with crimes related to lying on a gun-purchase background check, and with not declaring all his foreign income.
The US attorney for Delaware, who was appointed by former president Donald Trump, will decide whether to proceed with a prosecution.
