Democrats block investigation of Hunter/Joe misdeeds

Democrats BLOCK Republican bid to get access to Hunter Biden documents on his foreign business dealings - after GOP members argued they could jeopardize national security

  • Democrats on the House Oversight Committee quashed a Republican effort Tuesday to secure documents on Hunter Biden and his business associates
  • In a vote 23-19, Democrats opposed Resolution 1243 that asked President Joe Biden to send documents related to Hunter Biden's business deals to the House
  • The effort was led by Rep. James Comer, the top Republican on the committee, who said Joe Biden needed to answer questions about his family's 'schemes' 
  • With his party in the minority, the GOP members didn't have enough votes to move the resolution on 
  • The resolution specifically names not only Hunter, but the president's brother James Biden and his wife Sara, along with Hunter's former business associates 
  • Oversight Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney pointed out that 'none of these people have a role in the Biden administration' 
  • It asked the president to send within 14 days 'copies of any document, record, report, memo, correspondence or other communication in his possession' 

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee quashed a Republican effort Tuesday to advance a resolution that asked President Joe Biden to send documents related to his son Hunter's business dealings to the House of Representatives. 

In a vote 23-19, Democrats voted to oppose Resolution 1243, which asked Biden to send within 14 days of passage 'copies of any document, record, report, memo, correspondence or other communication in his possession' that related to 'the Biden family's international business schemes.' 

'It is time for President Biden to answer some questions about his participation in his family's business schemes with some of our most signficant adversaries for years,' said Rep. James Comer, the Oversight top Republican, during a mark-up hearing Tuesday.
