Morans:
Republicans are promising they will target the president’s son, Hunter Biden, with investigations if they win back the House majority in the midterm elections.
In an op-ed published Friday in the New York Post, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), along with Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and James Comer (R-Ky.), vowed to investigate Biden’s business dealings, calling them “shady” and citing accusations made in a New York Post article that claimed Hunter Biden used his father’s connections for his deals.
Those claims have been repeatedly proved to be false. That’s not dissuading House Republicans, led by Comer — who is in line for the chairmanship of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform — from preparing for investigations into the president’s son.
As The Post’s Dana Milbank wrote early in May, Comer has made all sorts of false accusations against the Bidens, including:

As The Post’s Dana Milbank wrote early in May, Comer has made all sorts of false accusations against the Bidens, including:
- Claiming that Joe and Hunter Biden’s “shady business dealings with Russia and China” were responsible for drug smuggling. Comer said President Biden’s border policies resulted in more fentanyl in the country. In reality, the United States seized more than double the amount of fentanyl this year than it did under President Donald Trump.
- Claiming that “one of the oligarchs in Russia that Hunter Biden received money from” wasn’t among the “oligarchs who were sanctioned by the Biden administration in Russia.” The Post’s Fact Checker found that the allegation that the younger Biden received funds from the oligarch is based on “flimsiness.”
