The White House released a statement dismissing probes planned by the GOP in the House Oversight Committee and the House Judiciary Committee; they are accusing Republicans of promoting “long-debunked conspiracy theories.
Reps. James Comer (R-KY) and Jim Jordan (R-OH) announced the investigation on Thursday, saying very directly: “This is an investigation into Joe Biden.”
The White House obviously isn’t taking the probes seriously.
From Fox News:
“Instead of working with President Biden to address issues important to the American people, like lower costs, congressional Republicans’ top priority is to go after President Biden with politically motivated attacks chock full of long-debunked conspiracy theories,” Ian Sams, a spokesman for the White House Counsel’s office, said Thursday.
“President Biden is not going to let these political attacks distract him from focusing on Americans’ priorities, and we hope congressional Republicans will join us in tackling them instead of wasting time and resources on political revenge,” he added.
The Republican report, A President Compromised, contains more than 30 pages of whistleblower information; excerpts below:
During the 2020 presidential campaign, then-presidential candidate Joe Biden assured the American people he was not involved in his family members’ multi-million-dollar global business deals. He assured Americans he had always remained apart from his family’s business interests while he was Vice President.
Evidence obtained by Committee on Oversight and Reform Republicans shows these assurances were false. President Joe Biden has participated in his family’s global business ventures with America’s adversaries. He has misused his public positions to further his family’s financial interests. These actions have created the potential for President Biden to be susceptible to influence, blackmail, or extortion by a malign or foreign entity, including the Chinese Communist Party.
A review of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, as well as information from whistleblowers, reveals a decade-long pattern of influence peddling, national security risks, and political cover-ups. Biden family members used their connections with Joe Biden to enrich themselves through the expectation of access to Joe Biden and promises about what a future Biden Administration might do for them. There are numerous unanswered questions raised by these suspicious activities that warrant further investigation.
Rep. Jim Jordan shared the news on Twitter —and asked the question on the mind of every American:
“Hunter Biden and James Biden have racked up at least 150 suspicious activity reports for their business transactions. How many involved Joe Biden?”
