The House Oversight Committee has given Hunter Biden until midnight Wednesday to hand over documents related to his foreign business dealings or else face a potential subpoena.
According to Fox News, the committee has “received correspondence from the attorneys representing Hunter Biden and James Biden.”
“Oversight Committee staff will be in communication with them about Chairman Comer’s request,” the spokesperson said, adding that the committee is also in contact with the attorney for Eric Schwerin, James Biden and Hunter Biden’s business partner, “and expect him to start producing documents to the Oversight Committee soon.”
Earlier this month, House Republicans demanded Hunter Biden and Schwerin turn over information and records related to Hunter’s foreign business dealings as part of a probe whether members of the Biden family leveraged Joe Biden‘s then-position as vice president to ”sell access around the world.” (RELATED: Investigators Demand to Know if Hunter Biden Had Access to Unsecured Classified Documents)
“If President Biden is compromised by deals with foreign adversaries and they are impacting his decision making, this is a threat to national security,” Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said in a statement at the time.
“The American people deserve transparency and accountability about the Biden family’s influence peddling. The Oversight Committee is committed to exposing the waste, fraud and abuse that has taken place at the highest levels of our government. Hunter Biden, James Biden and Eric Schwerin’s documents, records and communications are critical to this investigation,” he added.
Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas), a member of the House oversight committee, told Fox News that a subpoena order is considered a “last resort,” but admitted, “I think we’re really close to it frankly.”
Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, initially fired back at the committee’s documents request by saying it “lacks a legitimate legislative purpose” but the move has largely been seen as a pathetic delaying tactic.
“Rather than engage in back-and-forth letter writing campaigns or any formal proceedings, I would offer to sit with you and your staff, including the ranking member and his staff, to see whether Mr. Biden has information that may inform some legitimate legislative purpose and be helpful to the Committee. I hope that you will engage in this effort,” the attorney said.
Hunter Biden is also facing investigations into his links to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Earlier this month, Rep. Comer sent a letter to former U.N. General Assembly President Vuk Jeremic Tuesday regarding his connection to the Biden family’s business dealings involving Patrick Ho, a Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked individual who was convicted on international bribery charges by the Department of Justice during the Trump administration.
“Vuk Jeremic is a key witness in our investigation of Joe Biden’s involvement in his family’s international and domestic business schemes,” Comer told Fox News.
Comer added, “Mr. Jeremic’s documents are crucial to this investigation.”

So Daddy
s boy thinks he is going to yank an apology out of FOX? For what? Dont you dare believe your lying eyes.I am wondering when they will be tried and sent to jail, enough of the type of circus. Up till now all these investigations have done nothing but waste time in congress, turn it over to a grand jury. This stuff distracts congress from doing their real job, like passing a real budget, and not the crap they have done for the last 10 years. Congress needs to start working for the people not the politically and business elite. Get control of our border and send the invaders back to their own countries, an stop using tax’s dollars to keep them here.
