Biden family hearings to begin Feb. 8 as House GOP probes Twitter, Hunter Biden laptop

WASHINGTON – House Republicans who assumed power earlier this month are holding their first public hearing on Feb. 8 to investigate President Joe Biden and his family, including son Hunter. 

Kentucky GOP Rep. James Comer said the House Oversight Committee he chairs will be the main investigatory arm of the House in the 118th Congress, and he plans to use subpoenas and the the power of his committee’s purse to focus scrutiny squarely on President Joe Biden.

Comer has insisted House Oversight is investigating the president and not his son, claiming Biden is the “chairman of the board” in a family business “scheme” in which he has leveraged his political power and connections for personal gain. Republicans are expected to scrutinize Hunter’s ties to foreign companies and even the artwork he sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
