House Oversight Chairman James Comer led Republicans on his panel Wednesday to lay out a series of allegations that President Biden’s family has benefited financially from foreign contacts, claims the White House and others deny. Comer claimed the panel had obtained bank records showing Biden’s family, including his son Hunter, received millions from individuals connected with Romania and China. “We’re pretty confident that the president was very knowledgeable of what his family was doing,” Comer said at a Capitol Hill press conference while flanked by more than a dozen Oversight GOP members. The Biden White House and a lawyer for Hunter Biden slammed the claims.
Comer and Republican members of his panel said they had obtained new bank records showing more than a dozen transactions connecting the foreign individuals and entities to the Biden family. Among them, they claimed Gabriel Popoviciu, a Romanian executive, made payments to an entity that later made payments to Hunter Biden and other relatives.
