Wednesday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Hannity,” House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) offered an update on his committee’s investigation into alleged wrongdoing by the Biden family.
The Kentucky Republican said there were “smoking guns” produced by his committee, but still some questions were unanswered.
“[I] think we produced many smoking guns,” he said. “There are people in the mainstream media that want to say otherwise. But poll after poll comes out and shows that the American people are keeping up with this investigation and they realize that something bad is going on here.”
“And the president of the United States has been dishonest with the American people,” Comer continued. “He has lied at least a dozen times about who he met with and what level of involvement he had in his family policy criminal activities. That is what there. We are talking about money laundering. We are talking about tax evasion. We are talking about securities fraud, and on and on and on. These are very serious crimes that any other American would have gone to prison over. So, really there are two things that Congress is going to have to look at here with respect to corruption.”
“First of all, there is the corruption itself,” he added. “And secondly is the government coverup.”
He said he anticipated an impeachment vote in the early spring next year.
“Well, certainly, that will be early spring,” Comer replied. “The sooner, the better. It just depends on when these people come in for their depositions and transcribed interviews. We have about 24 people that we want to hear from, and we’re expecting to hear from them in the next 45 days. After we hear from them, hopefully, we’re able to wrap up our job on the Oversight Committee, which is to investigate criminal wrongdoing and issue a report. Then we will hand it off to the Judiciary Committee.”
Sixty percent of Americans believe that President Joe Biden participated in the business dealings of his son, Hunter, according to a new poll.
A majority of respondents in a poll conducted last week by Harvard University's Center for American Political Studies said they believe Biden "helped and participated in Hunter Biden's business."
Eighty-one percent of GOP respondents to the poll believed Joe Biden participated, as did 39 percent of Democrats and 59 percent of independents.
Additionally, 46 percent of respondents had a "favorable" or "very favorable" view of Joe Biden, while 49 percent had a "very unfavorable" or "unfavorable" view. Just 24 percent said they had a favorable view of Hunter Biden, while 55 percent said they view him unfavorably.
Biden has faced persistent allegations that he had knowledge of his son's foreign business dealings. Hunter Biden's former business associate Tony Bobulinski said he met with the father and son in 2017 to discuss a business venture with a Chinese energy firm, CEFC China Energy. Hunter Biden sent a threatening message that year to an executive at the firm that invoked his father's name, saying he was sitting next to his father and that "we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled." Photographs on Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop place him at his father's Wilmington, Del., house the day the message was sent.
Former House speaker Kevin McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry into Biden in September that probes the president's involvement in his son's business dealings. The inquiry may wrap up soon after the start of the new year, as Politico reported Tuesday that Republicans hope to decide by then whether to file articles of impeachment. Some GOP lawmakers have expressed skepticism over whether it would be necessary to pursue impeachment.
