House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) took a victory lap after Hunter Biden’s supposed plea deal fell to the wayside.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer took a victory lap after Hunter Biden’s supposed plea deal evaporated — claiming his multiple probes opened the first son up to more scrutiny.
But that expected cakewalk was quickly torpedoed in a dramatic hearing in which presiding US District Judge Maryellen Noreika panned the agreement and found daylight between the defense and prosecution.Noreika asked the prosecution whether Hunter Biden could still face scrutiny for other potential crimes such as failing to register as a foreign agent for lucrative dealings overseas.
Federal prosecutors made clear in court that simply wasn’t the case and indicated that there is an ongoing inquiry of his overseas affairs.“I said from day one – after Jamie Raskin and I got briefed in the SCIF from the FBI – that the FBI said this was part of an ongoing investigation,” Comer added, referencing his panel’s briefing on an FD 1023 form detailing bribery allegations.
Additionally, the Oversight Committee has also taken interest in two IRS whistleblowers who have alleged that the federal probe of the first son was rife with favoritism and soft on him.SHAWN THEW/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock“What did they do to receive that money? Nobody knows. At the very least, Hunter Biden was serving as an agent for our enemies – for communist China, for Russia, for Romania,” Comer said.
