Comer to summon ‘crucial witnesses’ for Biden family investigation.

Congressional Investigators to Depose “Key Figures” in Biden Family Influence-Peddling Probe

Congressional investigators are set to bring in “key figures” for depositions as part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of influence peddling involving President Joe Biden and his family, according to House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY).

In an interview with Fox News, Comer shared insights into the steps his panel will take as it intensifies its inquiry into what he describes as suspicious financial transactions involving millions of dollars flowing to the Bidens from foreign nationals.

“We’re going to start bringing in key figures in the Biden family influence-peddling schemes for depositions,” Comer said. “And I think we’re on the right track, even though we’re having to fight the FBI, fight the DOJ [Department of Justice], fight the Democrats in Congress and fight the mainstream media.”

The GOP-led House Oversight Committee has been actively investigating the Biden family in recent months, with the aim of potentially implementing legislative reforms to strengthen disclosure requirements. However, Democrats in Congress dismiss the probe as politically motivated, and President Biden himself has referred to the corruption allegations as “a bunch of malarkey.”

Meanwhile, Hunter Biden, the President’s son, is facing a separate investigation by a U.S. attorney in Delaware regarding his financial affairs. Hunter Biden maintains his innocence and expects to be cleared of any wrongdoing.

In April, House Oversight Republicans visited the Treasury Department to examine suspicious activity reports (SARs) related to the Bidens. Comer has also issued subpoenas for bank records.

“I think we’ve done as much as we could do with the obstacles we’ve had to overcome. No one thought I would get bank records,” Comer said. “No one thought we would get access to the Treasury, Cabinet’s suspicious activity reports, but we would not take ‘no’ for an answer.”

Comer added, “We kept fighting and we prevailed. When we got access to the suspicious activity reports, the mainstream media said there was nothing there.”

According to Comer, at least 20 “sham” companies and complex financial transactions have been used to conceal money funneled to members of the Biden family. He predicts that bank records will reveal Biden family members accepting anywhere from $10 million up to $30 million from foreign nationals, with countries like Ukraine, China, and Romania being the focus of the inquiry.

Recently, Comer subpoenaed Devon Archer, who is believed to have played a role in Biden family deals abroad. He has also been pressuring the FBI for documents related to a confidential human source who alleged a Ukraine-centered $5 million scheme involving a foreign national paying six figures to secure favorable actions from Joe Biden during his time as vice president.

Questioning the federal investigators’ efforts to look into possible money laundering, Comer stated, “There’s a pattern here where the federal government, the deep state bureaucracies, have turned a blind eye to Joe Biden.”

He concluded, “Our job in the House Oversight Committee is to follow the money, and we have more bank records coming in.”
