Unfortunately, Comer did not heed Raskin&#8217;s request.<\/p>\n<h3>A Call for a Subpoena and Objective Investigation<\/h3>\n<p>In \u2063light of Comer&#8217;s inaction, Raskin \u200csent a follow-up letter to him, emphasizing the need for a\u200b serious and objective investigation. Raskin urged Comer to issue a subpoena to Affinity, Kushner&#8217;s firm, and\u200c require compliance with the committee&#8217;s request for documents regarding the billions of \u200ddollars received from Gulf\u200c monarchies.<\/p>\n<p>Raskin cleverly used Comer&#8217;s own comments about presidents&#8217; families leveraging their positions for financial gain to support the case for investigating Kushner.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I trust\u200c that you\u200d will recognize that the Committee cannot claim to be &#8216;investigating foreign nationals&#8217;\u2064 attempts to target and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-insider-who-played-key-role-in-business-deals-subpoenaed-he-has-significant-information\/\" title=\"Biden Insider Who Played Key Role in Business Deals Subpoenaed: 'He Has Significant Information'\">coerce high-ranking<\/a> U.S. officials&#8217; family members by providing \u200dmoney or other\u200b benefits in exchange for certain actions&#8217; without examining \u200bthe former Administration&#8217;s\u2063 plethora of foreign financial\u200d entanglements,&#8221; Raskin wrote.<\/p>\n<h3>Response from House Oversight<\/h3>\n<p>In response to Raskin&#8217;s\u2064 request, \u2063a House Oversight spokesperson\u200b issued a statement, dismissing the letter as an attempt to divert attention from\u200b alleged involvement of Joe Biden in his family&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-walls-are-closing-in-on-the-biden-family-scheme\/\" title=\"The Walls Are Closing in on the Biden Family Scheme\">influence-peddling schemes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If\u2062 Ranking Member\u200d Raskin was truly concerned about ethics in government, then he would join Republicans\u200d in our investigation of the Bidens&#8217; blatant corruption,&#8221; the statement read. &#8220;However, Ranking Member Raskin is only concerned about playing Biden family defense lawyer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click \u200bhere<\/a> to read\u200d more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Oversight Committee ranking member, Jamie Raskin (D-MD), urged Chairman James Comer (R-KY) to enforce Jared Kushner&#8217;s submission of documents concerning his Saudi Arabian business dealings.
