House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer alleged Thursday that his panel had uncovered new financial accounts related to his investigation of the Biden family and announced a fresh subpoena against an unnamed bank.
“This morning I issued a subpoena for targeted financial information from a certain financial institution related to [first brother] Jim Biden, [his wife] Sarah Biden, and [first son] Hunter Biden,” Comer (R-Ky.) announced on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria.”
Comer, who is leading the eight-month-old impeachment inquiry into President Biden, explained that the subpoena stemmed from material turned over by Hunter’s former longtime business partner Devon Archer.
“We believe we found new accounts, and remember, the number of bank accounts that we’ve discovered over the past year and a half … is unbelievable,” Comer told Bartiromo.
Comer expressed hope that his latest subpoena would “answer some more questions” and teased that the end of the investigation is near.
“Hopefully this subpoena will be some of the last bits of information that we have to have to be able to finalize this report to the American people,” he said.
The chairman added that “we’re in the final stages” of the inquiry and that the panel will “hopefully” release a report on its findings “very soon.”
When pressed about whether he had uncovered any bank accounts that were tied directly to President Biden, Comer admitted linking the president to his family money had been “a harder nut to crack.”
“At the end of the day, the Biden family were the ones that were taking the initial wires and laundering them through,” he said.
President Biden, the White House, and attorneys for members of the first family have steadfastly denied Comer’s characterizations of those transactions.
It is unclear whether House Republicans have the votes to impeach the president, but Comer has previously teased that criminal referrals are in the works.
Back in late March, Comer invited Joe Biden to testify about his family’s affairs and laid out a list of questions.
The White House slapped down that offer and Comer told Bartiromo “we’ve not heard back” when asked about his invitation.
