The Republican-led House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed records from Bank of America having to do with Hunter Biden’s business partners, including one that work on the deal with the Chinese energy company CEFC.
The news comes to light because the ranking Democratic member doesn’t like it and revealed it in a letter over the weekend.
Here’s more via Newsmax:
House Oversight chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., has reportedly subpoenaed Bank of America asking for records relating to three of Hunter Biden’s business associates.
The disclosure was revealed in a letter sent Sunday to Comer by the panel’s ranking Democrat, Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, CNN reported, noting the subpoena called for “all financial records” spanning 14 years, beginning in 2009.
Bank of America has since turned over a number of materials, CNN reported, citing an unnamed source.
According to the letter, the subpoena specifically targets John Robinson “Rob” Walker and other associates of President Joe Biden’s son, who formed a “a joint venture” with executives of CEFC China Energy, a now-bankrupt Chinese energy conglomerate, CNN reported.
The subpoena marks an escalation in Comer’s probe into the Biden family’s business dealings, the news outlet noted.
Comer has prioritized accessing financial information for the Biden family and its business associates to investigate alleged influence peddling — particularly surrounding any of the Biden family’s foreign business deals.
You can be sure that Raskin’s team leaked the letter to CNN to make this public.
But this is good new for Republicans, who strongly believe these committees should be investigating the Biden crime family. I look forward to seeing what this committee finds.
I’m also glad to hear that Bank of America is cooperating because I’m sure Raskin would have told them not to do so.
