WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans are laying the groundwork to make Hunter Biden and his business dealings a central target of their investigative and oversight efforts.
The financial dealings of President Joe Biden’s eldest son will come under new scrutiny if Republicans win control of one or both houses of Congress this fall, as is increasingly expected.
Republican committee members and staff have discussed analyzing specific messages found on Hunter Biden’s laptop and financial transactions.
They have also discussed issuing congressional subpoenas to foreign entities involved in paying Hunter Biden. And one key lawmaker recently asked intelligence officials what they know about allegations Russia was behind the release of the laptop.
Hunter Biden is under investigation by the US Attorney in Wilmington, Delaware. The probe concerns multiple financial and business activities in foreign countries dating to when Biden’s father was vice president.
