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’
