House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., is determined to move forward with a contempt of Congress citation for Hunter Biden due to his refusal to sit for a deposition over his foreign financial transactions.
Hunter Biden appeared at a hearing unannounced, offering to testify in an open hearing, but Comer insists on a deposition first to ask substantive questions about the financial transactions.
The issue revolves around allegations of receiving money from foreign entities and potential national security concerns. (Trending: Trump Defies Court And Delivers Closing Argument At Civil Fraud Trial)
Rep. Comer said, “We have hundreds of questions to ask Hunter Biden, and you can’t do that in a public hearing.”
“After we do the deposition, then Hunter Biden could come in for a public hearing. I want a public hearing, and the American people want to public hearing,” he continued.
“But we have to ask him specific questions. There are too many transactions. There are too many suspicious activity reports filed on money the Bidens received from our enemies around the world,” explained the committee chairman.
“We have to spend hours and hours and hours asking the substantive questions with charts, with spreadsheets and everything else, and that’s what we’re going to do. Hunter Biden doesn’t get to dictate the rules,” added Comer.
“That’s what the American people want to know: What did the Bidens do to receive the tens of millions of dollars, received from our enemies around the world?” asked Comer.
“The Democrats, in all of their filibustering today and all of their debates and all of their falsehoods, they never once said what legitimate business purpose the Bidens had,” emphasized the Kentucky Republican.
“They talked about [former President Donald] Trump. They talked about money that Trump made in his hotel from foreign dignitaries who spent the night in the hotel. But they never could explain what the Bidens did to receive the money, and this is very important. This is an issue of national security,” insisted Comer.
“Are the Democrats going to tell the American people it’s OK if you’re president of the United States, and you’re a Democrat, to sell access to the Chinese or the Romanians or the Ukrainians or the Russians?” asked Comer.
“Because that’s what it looks like Joe Biden did. And the fact that the White House continues to lie about Joe Biden’s knowledge and involvement, participation in his family’s shady business schemes doesn’t help the situation where the majority of American people think that Joe Biden is a crook and that he was directly involved in these schemes,” Comer alleged.
