The House Oversight Committee issued three subpoenas.
Republicans investigating President Joe Biden and his family’s business dealings issued subpoenas on Nov. 8 for the president’s son and brother.
Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, signed subpoenas for Hunter Biden, the president’s son, and James Biden, the president’s brother, and also is seeking to interview several other family members and associates of the family.
That group includes Melissa Cohen, Mr. Hunter Biden’s wife, and Sara Biden, Mr. James Biden’s wife.
“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,” Mr. Comer said in a statement.
“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.
“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.”
Paul Fishman of Arnold & Porter, a lawyer representing Mr. James Biden, told The Epoch Times in an email that there was no justification for the subpoena.
“Jim Biden has never involved his brother in his business dealings,” Mr. Fishman said.
A lawyer representing Mr. Hunter Biden didn’t respond to a request for comment.
That lawyer recently asked House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to stop Mr. Comer and other Republicans from “continuing their partisan political games.”
Financial records obtained and made public by the Republicans show a network of shell companies set up by the Biden family while President Biden was vice president. The network was designed to hide payments to the family from foreigners, according to Republicans.
