The House Oversight Committee issued three subpoenas on Wednesday for President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, his brother, James Biden, and a Biden family business associate, Rob Walker.
These are three of the most consequential subpoenas that House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has filed during his investigation. The subpoenas are for depositions for testimony related to the House GOP's ongoing impeachment inquiry.
Hunter Biden and James Biden are centerpieces of Comer’s investigation into Biden and his family’s overseas business.
Through their investigation, they have found that Hunter Biden received millions from foreign oligarchs and companies.
Walker was a business associate of Hunter Biden and earlier this year, the committee found through subpoenaed bank records that Walker apparently wired over $1 million in incremental payments “from 2015 through 2017” to Hunter Biden; James Biden, the president's brother; and Hallie Biden, the widow of Beau Biden, the president’s late son.
Back in March, Comer released a memo claiming that State Energy HK Limited, a Chinese company, wired $3 million to Robinson Walker LLC, an account that belonged to Walker. From there, Comer said, “Biden family members and their companies began receiving incremental payments over a period of approximately three months” from Robinson Walker LLC.
“The House Oversight Committee has followed the money and built a record of evidence revealing how Joe Biden knew, was involved, and benefited from his family’s influence peddling schemes. Now, the House Oversight Committee is going to bring in members of the Biden family and their associates to question them on this record of evidence,” Comer said in a statement.
The committee also requested transcribed interviews with a number of other Biden family members including James Biden’s wife, Sara Biden, Hallie Biden and her sister Elizabeth Secundy, Hunter Biden’s wife Melissa Cohen, as well as former Biden family business associate Tony Bobulinski.
“Unlike the many lies President Biden told the American people about his family’s business schemes, bank records don’t lie. These records reveal how the Bidens sold Joe Biden around to the world to benefit the Biden family, including Joe Biden himself, to the detriment of U.S. interests," Comer said in a statement. "The House Oversight Committee, along with the Committees on Judiciary and Ways and Means, will continue to follow the facts and deliver the transparency and accountability that the American people demand and deserve.”
About time!
Oh I bet they’re terrified! /s
Comer has been telegraphing this move for over the last five weeks. I figured he was waiting to be talked out of going any further.
Comer also requested transcribed interviews w/ other Bidens including:
<><>the wife of James Biden (joe’s brother and confidant),
<><>Beau Biden’s widow Hallie Biden, (Hunter’s onetime live-in)
<><>Hallie Biden’s sister Elizabeth Secundy,
<><>Hunter Biden’s current wife, Melissa Cohen.
Ex-Biden family business associate Tony Bobulinski—and tell-all-—also got subpoenaed.
And thus begins the process of pushing aside Mr. Potato-Head and allowing Gruesome Newsome to slip smoothly into place for 2024 instead as a last-ditch effort.
That’s their play. I’d bet every dollar I’ve got on it.
Nice!
They will just refuse to come
He was waiting to uncover the bank transactions that were uncovered this week showing the big guy profiting directly from Hunter’s influence peddling. Remember when Biden smugly ask “Where’s the money?”. Well now we have bank records that give a direct answer to that question. NOW, Comer has questions to ask of Hunter and Jim, that he couldn’t have asked a week ago. That’s the way you run an investigation - one step at a time.
Yawn.
I’m thinking Hunter will take and drink the fifth.
“He was waiting to uncover the bank transaction ...”
Thanks for the information. I don’t have time to thoroughly read the news. Thanks!
My prediction:
They ignore the subpoenas, congress refers them to the DOJ where they ignore those requests, and nothing happens.
For extra credit someone might come out and say that the subpoenas are entirely political in nature, and that the committee hearing would be a kangaroo court. All while Trump is being subjected to what he’s dealing with.
Just like Holder did. What's the Committees course of action if so. I believe it's time for the Capitol Police or US Marshalls start making arrests. The Rats want to play hard, that would be our way of playing hard. Am I wrong about their authority?
You’re welcome. They still have more bank records they’re subpoenaing, but what they uncovered this week is the first direct evidence of payment into Joe Biden’s bank account, of money paid to Hunter by one of his “clients”, CEFC (a CCP front company).
DJT & many more have tons of proof of Greasy Newscum’s corruption which includes his ties to the CCP.
Greas’ys corruption is well documented and well known. Count on it!
Will they defy the subpoena? If so, will anything happen in consequence?
“They still have more bank records they’re subpoenaing, “
On the NBC Nightly News reporting on the subpoena of Bidens et.al. finished off with “although there’s no evidence of wrongdoing”.
