Congressman James Comer (R-Ky.) said he’s looking into Hunter Biden’s questionable foreign dealings. In a recent interview, the Kentucky Congressman said several banks flagged at least 150 financial transactions involving Hunter as suspicious.
“Text messages show that Hunter Biden was aware of these SARs and took steps to avoid detection in his financial dealings,” Comer noted.
The GOP lawmaker explained this only happens when the bank has solid reasons to believe their client is involved in criminal activity. He added, the Biden administration may be running a cover-up for Hunter.
House Oversight Committee Republicans have been investigating the scandal-scarred first son’s domestic and foreign business relationships as well as any effort to benefit from his father. According to the GOP members, the SARs raise “serious questions about what these transactions were for and whether money was transferred to the Biden family from America’s adversaries.”

“Committee Republicans are committed to following Hunter Biden’s money trail consisting of many complex, international transactions worth millions of dollars,” stated Comer. “The American people deserve to know the President’s connections to his son’s business deals, which have occurred at the expense of American interests and may represent a national security threat.”
According to the Kentucky Congressman, Edward Prewitt and his firm managed the accounts of the first son’s businesses, including Owasco PC, Owasco LLC, Skaneateles and Rosemont Seneca Advisors. They also managed a Hudson West, which has reprotedly been used in transferring millions of dollars to Hunter and James Biden from CEFC. This company has been said to be “effectively an arm of the Chinese government.”

“You have an obligation to the country to take these allegations seriously, immediately investigate and take steps to institute fixes to these and other matters before you,” the senator voiced to the Biden administration officials.
Comer also said his Oversight Committee is focused on investigating Hunter Biden. The probe is expected to intensify if Republicans take back the House in November.
