On Tuesday’s “Fox & Friends First” show, Comer stated a message for the White House saying that this matter is not going anywhere and demanded the mainstream media to report about the bank records secured by the committee.
REP. JAMES COMER stated:
It’s rich that the president just stood there and lied to the American people. It’s also rich that the mainstream media hasn’t called him out on it. Where are the fact-checkers? They’ve gone for years now saying that this is Russian disinformation that the Bidens were involved in influence peddling. Then when the laptop surfaced they said that wasn’t real, that had been compromised. Well, now I have subpoenaed bank records to prove that the family took over $1,000,000 from a Chinese Communist Party-backed energy company for no apparent reason. And he’s still denying it. He’s still lying about it. So, yes, we expect an apology from Joe Biden. We’re disappointed, but not shocked that the mainstream media has turned a blind eye to this.
But my message to the White House is this isn’t going away. There are other bank records. There are other potential businesses, quote-unquote, deals that your family had made with China and other adversarial countries around the world. We’re going to get the truth out and there’s going to come to a point where eventually, the mainstream media is not going to be able to let him stand up there and lie to the American people about the fact that his family’s taken millions and millions of dollars from our adversary.
During the previous week, President Joe Biden refused to accept that Hunter Biden, James Biden, and daughter-in-law Hallie Biden got any payouts from a bank account owned by Rob Walker.
Biden stated “that’s not true” when he was questioned regarding the payouts.
On Tuesday, Comer sent a letter to White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre.
He wrote:
“The Committee is concerned about the national security implications of a President’s or Vice President’s immediate family receiving such lucrative financial deals form foreign nationals and foreign companies without any oversight.”
