A lead Republican investigator has now issued a claim that a number of members from the Biden family have been or are currently involved in international shady business dealings, sharing in the past 24 hours a much larger headcount than previously known.
James Comer (R-KY), as the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, landed on the media circuit last week in order to offer up an update in the wake of his committee being allowed full access to the bank records and suspicious activity reports.
As part of an interview late last week alongside Laura Ingraham, a host for Fox News, Comer stated that evidence of influence peddling is rooted very deep into the family tree of President Joe Biden.
“At the end of this I think we’re gonna see there are probably six or seven Biden family members that were involved in various business schemes around the world,” stated Biden.

The chairman stated that he knows the identities of these people but elected to not name them publicly.
Once Comer made an appearance for another interview last week with Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo, an infographic was displayed which showed Hunter Biden, the president’s brother James, and five blacked-out frames that each were embossed with a large question mark.
President Biden spoke out to openly deny having involvement in the business dealings of both his brother James and his son Hunter. Federal prosecutors are looking into Hunter Biden over his foreign business dealings in countries such as Ukraine and China, tax affairs, and much more. Though Hunter Biden has stated that he expects to be entirely cleared of any possible wrongdoing, Republicans have raised a number of concerns about influence peddling, especially any that could include the president, spurred in part by what was found on the laptop which was abandoned and then hidden.
Democrats have raised issues concerning their GOP colleagues being too focused on just digging up “political opposition research” which will benefit former President Donald trump, but Comer explained to Baritomo that his team has gathered evidence showing a “concerning pattern to get suspicious amounts of money from our adversaries around the world.”
Earlier this past week, Comer issued an announcement that officials with the Treasury Department allowed his panel full access to the suspicious activity reports, which financial institutions can utilize as a means to flag what could possibly be criminal behavior, for the Biden family and their associates’ business transactions.
Comer has stated that, as of writing, he is well aware of about 13 different transactions, and his team is expected to call for additional bank records. “We’re making a lot of progress in this investigation, and it doesn’t look good for the Biden family,” he stated.
