The reports are said to detail any foreign money trail that involves relations in China, Russia, Ukraine by the Biden family. The reports may contain details such as Hunter Biden’s relationship with Russian billionaires who partnered with Hunter Biden but have not been sanctioned during the Russia and Ukraine war. 

House Oversight Committee members as well as any staff will be required by the Treasury Department to review the documents in  camera.

Comer has sent requests for records to President Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, as well as Eric Schwerin, Hunter Biden’s business partner. 

The Hunter Biden investigation first began 5 years ago, in 2018 and was originally related to his tax affairs, by suspicious activity reports regarding some foreign transactions. According to CBS News, the number of suspicious activity reports is 150. Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss is leading the investigation into possible tax fraud, illegal foreign lobbying and money laundering as well as whether or not he lied about his drug use on a form to purchase a gun. Weiss was appointed by Trump.
