According to James Comer, "Committee Republicans have spoken with multiple whistleblowers from numerous schemes involving the Biden family, reviewed Hunter Biden's laptop and received documents of previously unknown transactions"

WASHINGTON, November 17. /TASS/. Republican members of the US House of Representatives will launch an investigation into the activities of US President Joe Biden, James Comer, who is expected to become the next chair of the House Oversight Committee, announced at a press conference on Thursday.

"This is an investigation of Joe Biden, the President of the United States, and why he lied to the American people about his knowledge and participation in his family's international business schemes. National security interests require the committee conduct an investigation," Comer stated. "This investigation will be a top priority," he said.

According to him, "Committee Republicans have spoken with multiple whistleblowers from numerous schemes involving the Biden family, reviewed Hunter Biden's laptop and received documents of previously unknown transactions." "What we found are business plans aimed at targets around the world based on influence peddling, including with people closely tied to foreign governments like China and Russia," Comer said, adding: "We also found plans based in the United States where the Biden family swindled investors of hundreds of thousands of dollars, all with Joe Biden's participation and knowledge."

"In 2019, shortly after announcing his campaign for President, Joe Biden told the American people he had nothing to do with and never had conversations with his family about their business dealings. That was a lie," Comer emphasized. "This evidence raises troubling questions about whether President Biden is a national security risk and about whether he is compromised by foreign governments," Comer stressed.
