(The Guardian) House GOP requests Hunter Biden documents, Twitter execs testimony
House Republicans are making good on their promises to investigate the Biden administration and other perceived opponents, with the oversight committee chair James Comer today requesting the Treasury turn over documents related to the president’s son Hunter Biden, as well as calling for testimony from three former Twitter executives.
Comer sent Treasury secretary Janet Yellen a letter requesting “suspicious activity reports” related to Hunter Biden and other members of the president’s family, and their businesses. Suspicious activity reports are submitted to Treasury by banks that suspect a customer may be engaged in unlawful or dangerous business.
He is also calling former executives Vijaya Gadde, James Baker, and Yoel Roth to testify on the week of 6 February before the committee about Twitter’s decision in 2020 to briefly ban the New York Post’s account after it published reporting about a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden.
“For the past two years, the Biden Administration and Big Tech worked overtime to hide information about the Biden family’s suspicious business schemes and Joe Biden’s involvement. Now that Democrats no longer have one-party rule in Washington, oversight and accountability are coming,” Comer said in announcing the requests.
Facts First USA, a group recently set up by Democrats to counter the GOP’s investigations against the Biden administration, has hit back on House oversight committee chair James Comer’s request for documents related to Hunter Biden.
“Comer’s latest letter is yet another rehashed conspiracy theory about a Biden family member that has already been thoroughly debunked by fact checkers,” Facts First USA president David Brock said in a statement.
“The interesting news here is that if Comer continues to move forward with this tinfoil hat hearing it is really bad news for the people in his Congressional district, where, ‘over 62,000 reports were filed between 2014 and 2022, averaging one filing for every 12 people in the district,’” he said, citing reporting in the American Independent.
