James Comer Subpoenas Hunter, James Biden 315 Days After Launching Probe into Family
James Comer, the Chair of the House Oversight Committee (R-KY), subpoenaed Hunter Biden and James Biden Thursday, exactly 315 days after officially launching an inquiry into President Joe Biden’s family.
Comer wants to obtain the bank records of Hunter Biden, James Biden, and their businesses to link Joe Biden with his family’s overseas deals.
Comer announced that he would be issuing subpoenas in order to force the Bidens’ cooperation with the House investigation.
All the witnesses have said that the committee’s evidence is worthy of further investigation. This committee will follow the evidence no matter what it leads to. Thank you to all the witnesses who gave testimony today.
