The Facts

  • House Republicans, via the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, have made the first official requests for documents from Hunter and James Biden — the family of the US President — concerning foreign business dealings, specifically related to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

  • House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) alleged that the committee had evidence that Biden family members attempted to "sell access around the world" including to members of the CCP, to "enrich themselves" to the detriment of the US.


The Spin

Republican narrative

News surrounding Hunter Biden's laptop has continually been the source of desperate lies by Democrats, attempting to brush over the actions of the Biden family. Despite their best attempts, the stage has now been set by Comer for Republicans to finally force the truth out of the Biden family and the Biden administration.

Democratic narrative

It is hypocritical for Comer to investigate and complain about the Biden family when he himself has used his position in the past to help his brother out of COVID Paycheck Protection Program loans. Rather than spending all its time on politically-motivated character assassination, the GOP machine would do better to address more important issues of value to the American people.
