Democrats BLOCK Republican bid to get access to Hunter Biden documents on his foreign business dealings after arguing they could jeopardize national security
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee quashed a Republican effort Tuesday to secure documents on Hunter Biden and his business associates
In a vote 23-19, Democrats opposed Resolution 1243 that asked President Joe Biden to send documents related to Hunter Biden’s business deals to the House
The effort was led by Rep. James Comer, the top Republican on the committee, who said Joe Biden needed to answer questions about his family’s ‘schemes’
With his party in the minority, the GOP members didn’t have enough votes to move the resolution on
The resolution specifically names not only Hunter, but the president’s brother James Biden and his wife Sara, along with Hunter’s former business associates
Oversight Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney pointed out that ‘none of these people have a role in the Biden administration’
It asked the president to send within 14 days ‘copies of any document, record, report, memo, correspondence or other communication in his possession’
