(CNN) - The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday rejected a GOP effort to seek documents related to the Biden family's international business deals, as Republicans attempt to lay the groundwork to investigate Hunter Biden under a GOP-led House.
Republicans on the committee forced a vote on a so-called "resolution of inquiry," which called on the administration to hand over a wide swath of documents related to the Biden family's business deals overseas. Democrats, however, voted down the resolution following two hours of debate over the issue. (The final tally was 23 Democrats voted to report the resolution unfavorably out of committee, while 19 Republicans voted against reporting it unfavorably.)
Rep. James Comer, the top Republican on the Oversight panel, accused the Bidens of peddling "access to the highest levels of government to enrich themselves" and said it was imperative to get answers because of national security concerns.
"If the Democrats vote against this resolution, then they are continuing in their coordinated effort to shield a potentially compromised President from necessary congressional oversight," Comer said. "We must shed light on the Biden family's international business schemes to determine if there is a national security threat."
Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney responded that the GOP's priorities are "misplaced" and accused Republicans of just trying to "smear" Biden and boost Donald Trump by targeting Biden's family members.
"This is a nakedly partisan effort," the New York Democrat said, calling the Republicans "obsessed" with Hunter Biden and saying the GOP skirted all oversight responsibilities while Trump was in office.
While the resolution went nowhere, as was expected, this is just the latest sign that House Republicans plan to zero in on President Joe Biden's son with their investigative powers if they win back the majority this fall.

I can imagine the new house as Republican majority will take the next two years and be all about Hunter Biden. The new Benghazi. But if it keeps them from passing bills, I’m OK with it. We need two years with zero spending.
Maloney is a certified nut and always has been. Complete Obamite and cover up artist for the Bidens.
Her time will come after November’s congressional elections when she will be in the minority party and powerless to stop the King-sized anal probes of the Biden criminal/treason family and those who covered up for them, including members of Congress.
There will be ever intense calls to investigate Hunter until the republicans win in November, then it will be dropped and forgotten instantly
How about we defund 87,000 IRS agents?
DUH!
The Republicans(uniparty) will do nothing and no one will be held accountable just like they never are.
Didn’t Maloney lose in the recent primary? She will be out of office in January no matter which party wins in the mid-terms.

But if RINOs have the last word, the J6 committee will be shut down and Hunter will have a show trial that will accomplish nothing. No DC jury will convict a Democrat, just like no DC jury will acquit a Republican.
I’m not sure we can. Depending how it’s written.

You mean like “give us the house and senate and we’ll repeal obamacare” ? I think you are spot-on.
Because going after Trump is way more important. 🙄
She can still be subpoenaed as an insider witness as to what aS not done as well as what was done on several issues.
