According to a Fox News report, the House Oversight Committee and its GOP Chair Rep. James Comer (R-KY) is giving Hunter Biden until end of day Wednesday to produce a set of requested documents or face a subpoena.
From Fox News:
A spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee told Fox News Digital that the committee has “received correspondence from the attorneys representing Hunter Biden and James Biden.”
“Oversight Committee staff will be in communication with them about Chairman Comer’s request,” the spokesperson said, adding that the committee is also in contact with the attorney for Eric Schwerin, James Biden and Hunter Biden’s business partner, “and expect him to start producing documents to the Oversight Committee soon.”
The committee this month asked Hunter Biden and Schwerin to turn over information and records related to Hunter’s foreign business dealings as Republicans probe whether members of the Biden family leveraged Joe Biden’s position as vice president to ”sell access around the world.”
“If President Biden is compromised by deals with foreign adversaries and they are impacting his decision making, this is a threat to national security,” Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said in a statement at the time.
“The American people deserve transparency and accountability about the Biden family’s influence peddling. The Oversight Committee is committed to exposing the waste, fraud and abuse that has taken place at the highest levels of our government. Hunter Biden, James Biden and Eric Schwerin’s documents, records and communications are critical to this investigation,” he added.
Committee member Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX) told Fox News that a subpoena order would be a “last resort,” but said, “I think we’re really close to it frankly.”
