The incoming Republican chair of the House Intelligence Committee doesn't seem as keen to pursue an investigation into the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop. That's according to a new report from the Daily Beast and a Sunday appearance by Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio.
Turner will lead the Intel Committee once the 118th Congress begins.
Unlike GOP leaders on the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, who want to make Hunter Biden's business dealings a top priority, Turner seemed to show reluctance when asked about the younger Biden by ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz.
The Daily Beast has more:
“In the 118th Congress, this committee will evaluate the status of Joe Biden's relationship with his family's foreign partners and whether he is a President who is compromised or swayed by foreign dollars and influence,” Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the incoming chair of the Oversight Committee, said last week. “I want to be clear: This is an investigation of Joe Biden, and that's where the committee will focus in this next Congress.”
In response to Raddatz asking Turner if he considered Hunter Biden's laptop a matter for the Intelligence Committee, the Ohio Republican said this:
He went on to say that “there certainly are issues with respect to Hunter Biden's laptop that are going to have to be looked at,” only for Raddatz to interject.
“Impeachment issues, you believe?” she wondered, prompting Turner to clarify that he didn't want to focus on impeachment in his committee.
“The impeachment issue was Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi. And where our committee was taken off the rails,” he added, referencing the efforts at impeaching former President Donald Trump.

Might need a re vote for house intel chair. No comparison in Biden to Trump. Trump was framed with untruths, with Biden the evedence is right there in front of your nose. I do agree it is about Joe Biden, hunter just worked for him.
Again we are seeing signs that once the spineless GOP takes control, the status quo comes into full play. For 4 years we have seen the Democrap party dismantle the rules and decorum of the House to attack conservative candidates and now we have the chance to do the same in return and our spineless GOP leadership does the tail tuck and run.
Raven I think that it is more like 6 + years with the moron elected democrat KKK scum having begun the skunk show when DJT was nominated and it has not stopped yet..
Of course their Kabuki Theater is playing well with the morons that vote dem ..
another big disappointment republican.
May be he just another RINO that being uncovered.
Turner is a go along to get along creep who most likely gets money back from Ukraine. Years ago, on the Tom Snyder show, the head of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) Union bragged Bureaucrats run the Government. He explained administrations changed every 2 to 4 years BUT Bureaucrats were ALWAYS there, year after year after year. He explained they all flew up like Pigeons every couple of years and usually landed in the same spot they were in or a spot or two down if their spot was filled. But, they’re always there, year after year after year. “We Bureaucrats run the government”, he bragged.
Turner sounds like another rhino, is that all there are in the new repuke party,if so,we need more change, This is getting sickening, are all these worthless,spineless, politicians on the take or what.We have a senile,lying,racist,frail,old puppet,fool,with all kinds of signs of selling our country out,do your dam job,or bow out, and let some one with competence do it.
Mike needs to take a back seat since he doesn’t have the ability to investigate the criminals.
Investigate, investigate, investigate
incarcerate incarcerate incarcerate… lets make Leavenworth the new DNC headquarters …
A vast majority of the American people DEMAND the biden crime family be investigated.
Obviously not good enough. We demand justice for all.
The corrupt Establishment Elites belong in jail awaiting execution for their crimes against the Citizens of the USA.
This is why when ever the Republican’s gain control nothing changes, they do absolutely nothing to stop the radical socialist agenda. We need people in these positions willing to give the exact same crap back to them to teach them a lesson, that when you change the rules to go after your opponent, they need to expect the same treatment in return.
Again we are seeing signs that once the spineless GOP takes control, the status quo comes into full play. For 4 years we have seen the Democrap party dismantle the rules and decorum of the House to attack conservative candidates and now we have the chance to do the same in return and our spineless GOP leadership does the tail tuck and run.
Complete waste of time and money. The Biden Department of Just Us will never act on any findings by a Republican Congress. If you Impeach the doddering Demented Old Fool, what do you get? President Harris, who would in all likelihood, be even worse than McSniffy Schitz-His-Pants.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
What do you expect from the corrupt Globalist Establishment Elites whether Democrat or RINO?
It is not in the best interest of self serving RINOs to enforce the law or to have true election integrity.
Turner is a weak, non combative DC insider. The Republican Party will be shooting themselves in the foot if they don’t investigate Biden being compromised and bribed by several foreign countries intelligence services.
Maybe hes IN ON crimes by Bidens
Blame the RINO League in GOP
Sounds like another STINKING RINO to me and God know we don’t need any RINO to chair any committee. We have some Republicans that are strong but we have too many who are spineless and borderline stupid. Anybody who shows disinterest in going after the Bidens is weak and
does not care about our country and absolutely a Rhino. Give him a place to sit and listen but NO CHAIR!!! We have got to get the Republican party together to work for our good and be strong on all issues. We have had enough of this Cluster F! They are not even sworn in and have shown disarray amongst them. WORK TOGETHER OR STEP DOWN!!!! AMERICA NEEDS REPRESENTATION NOT CLOWNS!!! We hired you to work for us, now DO IT!!!
This corrupt democrat loving RINO need to be removed from that committee.
