House Republicans escalate attacks on Biden family, alleging business with foreign nationals
NBC News / Comcast ^ | May 10, 2023 | By Summer Concepcion and Sarah Fitzpatrick

The Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee mounted more attacks Wednesday against President Joe Biden and his family, alleging that relatives of the president engaged in business with foreign nationals.

Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., sent a memorandum Wednesday morning to Republican members of the panel, which is investigating the finances of the Biden family, about what he described as information that the committee had recently received from subpoenas from four different banks. The memo said the subpoenas were “tailored to specific individuals and companies that engaged in business activities with Biden family members and their business associates.” It does not detail a specific allegation of a crime committed by the family or relative of the president.

The memo provides limited details about the Biden family’s alleged business dealings with foreign nationals. It alleges that the Biden family and associates’ activities in Romania “bear clear indicia of a scheme to peddle influence from 2015 to 2017,” saying that while Biden was vice president, his son Hunter, through an associate, received more than $1 million from a company controlled by a Romanian official accused of corruption. There’s no evidence that Hunter Biden or his father acted improperly or violated any laws.

The memo also says the Biden family and associates' “activities in coordination with Chinese nationals and their corporate entities appear to be an attempt to engage in financial deception.” The memo reiterates previous allegations that Comer made against Hunter Biden in March.

NBC News has reported that there was no indication that Joe Biden played any role in his son's dealings in China.

Let’s play the “if this had been Trump” game…

Instead we get “republicans pounce… make wild eyed allegations.”

So neutral and objective in tone.

"House Republicans escalate attacks on Biden family" ... "The Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee mounted more attacks Wednesday against President Joe Biden and his family"

See folks? True to the media's playbook. This is being reported as a *Republican* scandal, not a Biden or Democrat scandal. These revelations are just more nasty personal attacks by Republicans on our dear President and his family.

Note to headline writers: these are not "attacks". This is support for the rule of law. When someone breaks the law, they must be held to account.

If things were switched:

“A respected House committee sheds more light on Trump family scandals” ... “The chairman of the House Oversight Committee presented more shocking revelations Wednesday about Republican corruption and President Trump and his family’s possibly treasonous dealings with Russia”

Somebody needs to lose their broadcasting license since they are clearly not acting to promote the public good.

All kabuki theater.

Our country is about to be overrun and they’re still putting this sh*t out there and still do NOTHING.

PSA to Republicans in the House...you can present more evidence as it comes. You don’t have to wait any longer.
