Hunter Biden’s Manhattan art dealer is refusing to provide any information about the buyers of the first son’s paintings to a congressional committee investigating the Biden family’s business dealings, The Post has learned.
In a Feb. 6 letter to Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, a lawyer for art dealer Georges Berges raises “concerns” about complying with the committee’s demands to see records about clients who have purchased Hunter’s work.
Refusal to comply with a congressional subpoena could result in a fine of up to $1,000 and up to a year in prison.
The committee, which is probing President Biden’s international and domestic business dealings, is set to begin hearings Wednesday.
The Post has seen the letter from attorney William Pittard, who represents Berges and Georges Berges Galleries LLC. It notes that providing information about the buyers would violate White House rules that were set up specifically to deal with the sale of Hunter Biden’s artwork in 2021.
“Providing the documents and information requested in your letter seemingly would defeat the efforts of Mr. Biden and the White House to avoid the ‘serious ethics concerns’ that you raise,” writes Pittard, citing a July 2021 press briefing in which then-press secretary Jen Psaki laid out the ground rules for the sale of the art.

At least they nothing to hide.
I want to know how many have been resold, haha.
Even if they did force the art dealer to reveal the buyers you can guarantee that the money was ran through so many frontmen and shell organizations that it'll be impossible to figure out who paid the bribe money to begin with.
The state of Alabama is also seeking all those names & address & other information.
Mother of Hunter’s love child is getting child support re-assessed.
Not too smart to refuse the House Committees-—but even more stupid to refuse Family Court in ANY state.
2021’ WHITE HOUSE RULES that only apply to HUNTER????
More evidence of the criminal enterprise that is the Biden Family.
Are there any real journalists left who are willing to look into this? One of the more shocking things to happen in recent years is how the MSM never questions anyone with a D after their name and takes whatever they spew as the gospel truth.
It’s probably all one CCP stooge.
New rules. Time to go Jan 6 Committe on them.
Someone had to see the government check along the line.
Sorry poot that only applies to white house staff (which you are not) and has no power of a congressional inquiry anyway.
The White House rules carry no legal authority.
None of that matters.
What matters is that on Inauguration Day 2017 leftists burned cars, smashed windows, punched some guy in the face with a wrench and posted the video, and threatened thousands of citizens.
Several hundred were arrested, but a few days later all charges were dismissed and all the culprits walked away free and unscathed.
You guys keep posting all these rules, laws, and precedents as if those on power care about any of that - pro tip - they don’t. Not even a little bit.
What they care about is exercising power. We laid down for them for four years and now expect Merrick Garland to do something?
Ha. Hunter’s art buyers.
Gathering of the world’s top art experts, esteemed major museum curators and connoisseurs assembled for the first time. Then why do they all have dark sunglasses and suits with holster bulges and look like they stepped out of a gangster movie?
Mayhem on Inauguration Day....
Remember the feminist women with “P—— Hats” and the Antifa and others who made violent protests against President Trump being permitted to be President?
They falsely assumed a limo must be from a Trump capitalist. They were wrong.

Nice summary. Congress can make life miserable for Deep Staters who refuse to testify or cough up requested documents/communications.
Well…we all know what happens to people who fail to turn over information to congress (like Eric Holder - Fast and Furious)
Nothing.
