On Monday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) revealed that President Joe Biden was under investigation for allegedly “influence peddling with our adversaries” in addition to being under investigation for mishandling classified documents from his time as vice president and as a senator.
Comer made the comments during an interview on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends First” as he discussed Biden’s classified document scandal.
When asked if it was “normal” for vice presidents to take their notebooks with them when they leave office, Comer responded, “No, nothing that Joe Biden has done with respect to mishandling these classified documents is normal.”
“Take into consideration that he’s also being investigated for influence peddling with our adversaries around the world,” Comer continued. “And it’s even more concerning look, more information comes out every day, where his son, especially as well as his two brothers, have had shady business dealings with our adversaries around the world.”
“And part of what they would do when they would make a pitch to these shady characters in these foreign countries is prove to them that they actually had direct access to their brother and that they had direct access to people at the highest levels of our federal government,” he added. “So when we learned that Joe Biden had classified documents spread all over the place, and that Hunter Biden especially lived in his house where he had those classified documents, we became extra concerned. And that’s why this investigation is of the utmost importance for the United States Congress as well as the American people.”
