House Oversight Committee Republicans are determined to find out why hundreds of Biden family overseas transactions were flagged as “suspicious” by U.S. banks and forwarded to law enforcement.
They’re not getting any help from Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
Earlier this month, House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., wrote a letter to Secretary Yellen requesting information on the suspicious business transactions between the Biden family and their foreign associates flagged by U.S. banks.

According to a Jan. 11 Oversight Committee press release, Comer wants to review the more than 150 suspicious activity reports (SARs) “to determine if there is illegal activity or a threat to national security.”
Historically, the Treasury Department has provided SARs to Congress without complaint. Yet the Biden administration has restricted access to these ones, raising eyebrows and questions.
Comer ensured Yellen knew the investigation was “a top priority for House Republicans in the 118th Congress.”
On Thursday, Treasury’s Legislative Affairs chief responded, effectively telling Comer to get lost and that Treasury would need more details as to why the committee would need such “highly sensitive” information. (RELATED: Republican Governor Blames Jan. 6 Panel After Phone Gets Hacked)
Hot Air further reports:
The response may have come from Jonathan Davidson, but you can rest assured that he wouldn’t make that sort of decision without Janet Yellen signing off on it. And it’s a safe bet that the President was flagged in advance as well.
It’s also fairly obvious that the Treasury was scrambling to come up with some sort of rationale to block the Oversight committee from conducting, well… oversight. The best they were able to come up with was a claim that the “improper disclosure” of those types of records might “undermine the executive branch’s conduct of law enforcement, intelligence, and national security activities.”
I’m sorry, but… what? What are they talking about? The records in question involve Hunter Biden. He holds no elected office and has no responsibilities involving law enforcement, the intelligence community, or anything to do with national security. (Aside from possibly having undermined national security with some of his shady deals.)
Or at least his records shouldn’t involve anything like that unless some of the transactions showed significant payments to his father. Is that what Yellen is sitting on? If any potential records include all of the data related to suspiciously large transactions, it might potentially involve that joint bank account that Hunter and Joe Biden shared, as testified to by one of Hunter’s business partners.
One thing is for sure, don’t expect Comer to sit idly by as Treasury obstructs the congressional oversight process.

Yellen may find out that she in not elected and that there are courts likely to force her to comply with the requests of Congress when Congress has oversight responsibilities.
Yellen has been, is, and always will be a political hack. She was a joke as supposedly independent Fed Chairperson and still is as Secretary of the Treasury.
“Biden has obviously picked people for his administration who don’t know what they’re doing.” – wrong, people who can PRETEND to play dumb and like they don’t know what they’re doing while stoling…
Of course the left isn’t going to cooperate. They are above the law! The left hates this country, flag and national anthem.
Get a Court Order & have the FBI Go in & Get the Document’s ! If Yellin Object’s or Reject’s the Court Order then Charge Her with Obstruction( Contempt of Court) & Arrest Her! That is the Established Law & Order! Use it to Gain a Greater Good End Result!
Only one problem with that: the FBI is an arm of the Democrat socialist party and will never do anything to reveal, restrict, or punish the corrupt actions of Democrats
The FBI is on the Democrats side so were screwed
Do to her what they did to Trump. Send the FBI or DOJ or both in to raid the records – they should not have the right to refuse this request.
Request are nothing more than asking your neighbor to have a nice day. It doesn’t mean they will or listen to your suggestion. Or like if I request you give me $20,000 – you can and will tell me to go – well you know the thing 😁
Throw the B in jail.
Slap the handcuffs on her. She should share a cell with Hillary Clinton.
Issue a subpoena to Janet Yellen, and have the Sergeant at Arms haul her in and put in the holding cell at the Capitol, till the records are received.
The alternative would be to start impeachment proceedings on the grounds of siding and abetting a criminal, and also Obstruction of Justice.
Who in the world she think she is she can’t do that by law but the Democrats can get away with it
I’d love to see Yellen pulled and the rest of her staff gone too. She already said she didn’t know what she was doing last time – she’s no better now. No office should have the right to refuse to turn over this information – they need to be fired for not knowing the law.
Criminal Democrap politicians covering up for other criminal Democrap politicians and their family members !! It’s that simple !!
Problem is not one person that might have the 🎱⚾⚽🥎’s to do anything about can get the paidoff law agencies to go after anyone !!
So the way I see it is that they all just having sound good for the masses bull💩 so they have false hope of justice and don’t revolt !!!
