- ‘We built a case that will win in court, and we’ve made it all the way to the personal bank records of the Bidens,’ Comer said
- Speaker Johnson on Thursday who said a decision on whether or not to move forward with impeaching Joe Biden would come ‘very soon’
- Last month, Republicans revealed a separate $200,000 personal check from James Biden to Joe Biden
‘So now that we can trace the money, we have enough bank records that we can bring the Bidens in,’ Comer said. ‘So we’re preparing everything now to be able to serve them and try to bring them in. We’ve got a couple more bank statements that need to come in first, but when that all comes in, it should be in a matter of days.’
His comments echoed words from Speaker Mike Johnson on Thursday who said a decision on whether or not to move forward with impeaching Joe Biden would come ‘very soon.’
‘As we stand here today, I’m not predetermined that, but I do believe that very soon we are coming to a point of decision on it,’ the Louisiana Republican told reporters in his first news conference as speaker.
Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, who has taken the lead on the inquiry, said Wednesday it is now in the ‘downhill phase’ and should wrap up soon.
Comer says he has traced some $20 million from foreign actors to Biden family bank accounts.
Comer recently touted an image of a $200,000 check James Biden mailed to his brother Joe Biden as a ‘smoking gun,’ but the check was marked as a loan repayment.
President Joe Biden is at the center of an extremely lucrative ‘extortion scheme’ between members of his family and foreign actors – including China – charge Republicans.
Earlier this week Comer unveiled a $40,000 direct payment to Joe from 2017 labeled as a ‘loan repayment’ that he claims is ‘laundered money’ that can be traced back to the Chinese.
According to new bank records they obtained through recent subpoenas for James and Hunter Biden‘s financial records, a money trail beginning in July 2017 snaked from Chinese oil giant CEFC – one of Hunter’s joint ventures – into Joe’s account.
