House Republicans prepare to open Hunter Biden investigations after midterm elections
Cami Mondeaux November 04, 08:10 AM November 04, 08:10 AMGOP leadership is planning to announce a slew of investigations into the business dealings of President Joe Biden’s son Hunter as House Republicans eye big wins in the midterm elections next week.
Hunter Biden’s business dealings have long been of interest to the Republican Party, first taking prominence during the 2020 election as the GOP sought to determine whether then-candidate Joe Biden benefited financially from his son’s transactions, pointing to national security concerns. Should Republicans win the House majority, which they are projected to do, the House Oversight Committee is expected to hold a press conference one week after the election to provide an update on its investigations.

“If Joe Biden is compromised by his family’s business schemes, it is a threat to our national security,” said Rep. James Comer, ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, in a statement to the Hill.
Republicans on the House committee have been seeking to advance their investigation into Hunter Biden for months, particularly after obtaining a copy of his hard drive earlier this year. The hard drive has been of interest due to its salacious content, although Republicans are expected to focus mostly on his family’s business dealings.

Hunter Biden's financial affairs, including business dealings tied to countries such as Ukraine, China, and Russia, are under scrutiny in a federal criminal investigation. The president’s son has never publicly denied that the laptop belonged to him but has insisted he is "100% certain" he will be cleared of wrongdoing.

Joe Biden has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, and his campaign told reporters in 2020 that he “has never even considered being involved in business with his family, nor in any overseas business whatsoever.”
The Washington Examiner reached out to the White House and Comer for comment but did not receive responses.
