In an ongoing and expanding investigation into alleged Biden family influence peddling, a strong Republican House committee chairman announced on Saturday that his panel will be calling additional new witnesses.
Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, accused “the deep state bureaucracies” of turning a “blind eye” to the first family’s alleged years-long attempt to profit off of Joe Biden’s name in an interview with Fox News presenter Mark Levin.
The group has nevertheless made some progress, he claimed, despite significant opposition from President Biden’s administration.
“Our job in the House Oversight Committee is to follow the money. And we have more bank records coming in. We’re gonna start bringing in key figures in the Biden family influence-peddling schemes for depositions,” Comer told Levin.
“I think we’ve done as much as we could do with the obstacles we’ve had to overcome,” Comer added. “No one thought I would get bank records. No one thought we would get access to the Treasury, and Cabinet’s suspicious activity reports, but we would not take no for an answer.”
The New York Post added the following:
Earlier this month, the FBI caved to subpoena demands from Comer and agreed to allow members of his panel to read the FD-1023 informant file that is believed to have alleged President Biden participated in a multimillion-dollar bribery scheme during his vice presidency.
For weeks, the bureau had resisted his demands, publicly warning that the informant file contained “unverified reporting by a confidential human source.” Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) claimed they were tipped off about its existence by a whistleblower.
According to Republicans who have read the file, it contains details on two distinct transactions, each worth $5 million. These transactions purportedly involve payments made by Mykola Zlochevsky, the head of the Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings, to Joe Biden and his son Hunter. The funds, it is alleged, were a part of a plan to pressure Ukraine to fire a prosecutor looking into Burisma. According to The Post, Hunter Biden was a member of the board of directors at the time.
Comer continued by asserting that the FBI’s justifications for defying court orders to produce requested records only serve to support his contention that the bureau and other organizations are working to shield the Bidens.
Additionally, he claimed that the FBI and DOJ are not transparent with the American people, citing their contradictory justifications as proof.
“You heard in the testimony when Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley grilled the deputy FBI director as to why they wouldn’t release the Form 1023, they said, ‘Well, we don’t want to endanger the life of our paid informant who’s one of our most trusted, highest paid, most credible FBI informants,’” Comer told Levin.
“If this is the case — and the FBI informant [is] credible and the FBI informant tells the FBI that the vice president of the United States took a bribe from a foreign national in exchange for foreign policy and foreign aid — then why did the FBI not investigate it?” Comer said.
Comer stated earlier this week that the FBI is currently looking into Biden for possible bribery.
Comer and “Sunday Night in America” host Trey Gowdy talked about the ongoing House Republican probe into Biden and his family’s alleged business dealings during their discussion. According to Comer, the FBI has informed him that Biden is “currently under investigation for bribery.”
Comer discussed the declassified FBI FD-1023 form that made the claim that the former vice president Biden was participating in a pay-to-play bribery scheme.
After Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley claimed to have reviewed the document, which was allegedly obtained from a whistleblower, FBI Director Christopher Wray “finally” acknowledged the existence of the form, according to Comer.
