The House Oversight Committee has new questions related to its investigation of President Joe Biden and his family for, in addition to alleged criminal bribery schemes with foreign nationals, mishandling classified documents after then-Vice President Joe Biden left office.
Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) fired off a letter on Monday to Special Counsel Robert Hur raising new concerns about the classified documents retained by Biden and an inquiry as to whether any of the documents pertained to the countries in which the Biden family was allegedly profiting off the Biden “brand.”
From Comer’s letter to Hur:
The Committee has developed significant evidence regarding President Biden’s retention of classified materials at Penn Biden Center. Witness testimony, emails, and text messages establish there were at least five current and former White House employees who coordinated accessing boxes, which contained classified documents, between 2021 and October 2022. The Committee is concerned as to why President Biden has not been fully transparent about the White House’s involvement in accessing these materials prior to November 2, 2022. As such, we requested certain documents and transcribed interviews from the White House. Recent reports indicate you recently interviewed President Biden and other individuals involved in this matter, and the Committee now seeks information from your office to further our investigation.
As detailed in the Oversight Committee’s bank memoranda and Impeachment Inquiry Memorandum, evidence suggests President Biden may have used certain members of his family—particularly his son, Hunter Biden—to accumulate millions of dollars from foreign individuals and entities for the benefit of his family and himself. Indeed, the Biden family received millions of dollars from foreign sources while President Biden served in public office and afterwards. If any of the classified documents mishandled by President Biden involved countries or individuals that had financial dealings with Biden family members or their related companies, the Committee needs access to that information to evaluate whether our national security has been compromised.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is demanding answers from Special Counsel Robert Hur on whether the sensitive, classified documents President Biden retained were related to specific countries— countries that were involved in his family’s lucrative foreign business deals.
Comer, R-Ky., is investigating the Biden family’s foreign business dealings as part of the House impeachment inquiry, as well as Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified documents.
Comer, in a letter to Hur, who is investigating Biden’s alleged improper retention of classified records, said his committee has “developed significant evidence regarding President Biden’s retention of classified materials at Penn Biden Center.”
“As detailed in the Oversight Committee’s bank memoranda and Impeachment Inquiry Memorandum, evidence suggests President Biden may have used certain members of his family — particularly his son, Hunter Biden — to accumulate millions of dollars from foreign individuals and entities for the benefit of his family and himself,” Comer wrote to Hur. “Indeed, the Biden family received millions of dollars from foreign sources while President Biden served in public office and afterwards.”
Comer added, “If any of the classified documents mishandled by President Biden involved countries or individuals that had financial dealings with Biden family members or their related companies, the Committee needs access to that information to evaluate whether our national security has been compromised.”

ouse Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer is concerned that some of the classified documents concealed by President Joe Biden at his Penn Biden Center office and in his Delaware garage contained information about the countries involved in the foreign business deals that enriched the Biden family by millions of dollars during the Obama administration.
In a Monday morning letter, Comer urged Special Counsel Robert Hur to share the documents and testimonies he collected during his investigation of Biden’s document scandal with the committee so they can continue their investigation into the first family’s apparent pay-for-play scheme.
Hur, first tasked with investigating Biden’s improper storage of dozens of recently discovered documents by Attorney General Merrick Garland in January, interviewed Biden about the classified cache on Sunday and Monday of last week.
The recovered documents, reports, agents’ notes from Biden’s interview, and the lists of countries and people named on the classified papers, Comer specified, should be provided to the committee “in a timely manner” and “without redactions.”
Comer also asked that Hur disclose “any terms, agreements, or scoping limitations” that prevented him from conducting a full interrogation. The committee, Comer noted, specifically wanted to know if Hur was allowed to ask about the bombshell Biden corruption evidence obtained by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware and publicized by IRS whistleblowers.
