New GOP Committee Chairman to Treasury: Hand over info on Biden family business deals


Newly installed as Chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, Kentucky Rep. James Comer fired off a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen demanding they provide information about the Biden family including Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) generated by banks that flagged activities of President Biden’s son Hunter, his brother James, and Biden family associates.

Comer’s predecessor as Chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee was former New York Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, who lost her re-election bid in 2022 to Rep. Jerrold Nadler after redistricting drew them both into the 12th district.

“Members of the Biden family have a pattern of peddling access to the highest levels of government to enrich themselves, often to the detriment of U.S. interests,” the website of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee now states. “We are committed to following the Biden family and associates’ money trail—consisting of many complex, international transactions worth millions of dollars—and providing answers to the American people. The American people deserve to know whether the President’s connections to his family’s business deals occurred at the expense of American interests and whether they represent a national security threat.”

Comer noted in his letter that despite the Committee on Oversight and Accountability investigating President Biden’s involvement in his family’s foreign business practices and international influence peddling schemes, the Department of the Treasury had refused their requests to provide information.
