House Speaker James Comer said the Biden family would be served with “dozens” of subpoenas over the next few days related to the family’s foreign business dealings.
“I think you’re going to see swift action for Biden, and I would predict somewhere around two dozen subpoenas in the very near future,” Comer, R-Ky., told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”
Comer is leading the House investigation into Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings and is looking to determine what role President Biden may have played in any dealings. Republicans allege the president has benefited financially from business deals his family members have made with foreign countries.
Last week, Comer said that in 2017, President Biden received $40,000 in “laundered money from China” from his brother and sister-in-law’s bank account in the form of a personal check.

Biden has repeatedly denied any involvement in his son’s business dealings.
“We always planned to do this,” Comer told Bartiromo when asked if the Kentucky Republican planned to question Hunter and Joe Biden and “make calls.”

“This has been a painful process, Maria. We’ve been obstructed. We’ve been followed every step of the way, not only by the Bidens’ big-money lawyers, but also by the federal government. The IRS is obstructed. The DOJ is the Treasury Department obstructed. The FBI obstructed and the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee were pretty much Biden’s legal defense team,” he said.
Comer said other members of the House can “connect the dots” to a series of financial transactions between the president and members of his family that he said amount to “money laundering.”

“It was very organized. And the reason they did these complicated transactions was to disguise the source of the income and cheat the IRS into paying taxes,” he said.

Comer argued that in the coming weeks, the Biden family will claim the funds were loans “because you don’t have to report loans on your taxes.”

“If you’re the IRS and you’re just looking at someone’s taxes, you’d never know that Joe Biden got two loan repayment checks — $200,000 and $40,000,” Comer said.
“You won’t know about all the money we’re going to show that James Biden and Hunter Biden got from loans. It’s part and parcel of money laundering, where you cheat the IRS about the income you have. In other words, you’re a tax cheat.”
