House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said the latest findings in his committee’s investigation show President “Joe Biden’s role in this family influence peddling scheme continues to grow on a daily basis.”
Comer told Fox News host Sean Hannity that a timeline of financial activity and communications between Biden, who was vice president at the time, and his son Hunter suggests “he was front and center in this.” The Oversight chairman said because National Archives is not cooperating with providing emails with pseudonyms Biden used while he was vice president, an impeachment inquiry is “imminent.”

“I am here to tell you, Sean, Joe Biden was front and center,” Comer said. “He met with every one of these people that he claimed he never met with, that he never spoke to, and we are putting together the timeline where Hunter Biden was traveling to many of these countries on Air Force Two while Joe Biden was vice president.”
“There’s consensus in our conference now that we are going to have to go to the impeachment inquiry,” Comer said. “Obviously, that will be Speaker McCarthy’s call, but I feel like we’re there now, Sean. I feel like that is imminent.”
Comer added that he believes the impeachment inquiry will be “a tool in our toolbox when we go to court with our subpoena” for the emails containing a Biden pseudonym.
“Look, we’ve requested these documents. The House Oversight Committee has legislative jurisdiction over the National Archives. They have stonewalled us in the Biden mishandling of classified documents. Now they’re, you know — we hope they don’t stonewall us in the pseudonym request. There’s 5,400 emails, at least three different pseudonyms.”

Comer added that the current requests are ultimately part of an investigation into whether Biden himself was involved in bribery and money laundering.
“We know that the president’s son committed money laundering,” he noted. “We’re investigating whether or not Joe Biden committed money laundering, but we’re pretty certain he’s committed some pretty serious offenses that I think the entire Congress will be concerned about.”
