US House of Representatives is investigating the finances of President Joe Biden’s family.
The House of Representatives issued fresh subpoenas on Nov. 9 as it widens its probe of the finances of President Joe Biden and his family.
The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed four people, including George Bergès, who deals the art created by Hunter Biden, the president’s son.
The pieces were reportedly bought by people including Democrat donors, raising ethics concerns.
The panel is also commanding Eric Schwerin and Mervyn Yan, former business associates of Mr. Biden’s, and investor Elizabeth Naftali to appear and answer questions.
The fresh subpoenas come a day after Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the committee, signed off on subpoenas for Mr. Biden, the president’s brother, and another former business associate of the family.
“The House Oversight Committee is leaving no stone unturned as we investigate President Joe Biden’s central role in his family’s domestic and international business dealings,” Mr. Comer said in a statement.
Evidence and testimony acquired by the panel so far “show the Bidens and their business partners sold access to the highest levels of our government, including Joe Biden himself, to the detriment of America’s interests,” he added.
Mr. Bergès, Mr. Schwerin, and Ms. Naftali didn’t immediately respond to requests by The Epoch Times for comment. Mr. Yan couldn’t be reached.
Mr. Biden’s lawyer didn’t respond by press time to a request for comment.
The subpoenas indicate that Mr. Biden’s former associates could help Republicans as they probe the Biden family’s network of companies, which conducted business with nationals of China, Russia, and other countries during President Biden’s time as vice president.
The panel has already received records and testimony from banks and Devon Archer, a former family associate who testified that President Biden would regularly join business meetings by phone, although Mr. Archer stressed that no business was discussed when the elder Biden was participating.
The panel recently found two checks labeled as loan repayments from James Biden, the president’s brother, to President Biden that Republicans allege were funded by money from China and a failing rural hospital operator.
