The\u00a0Republican-led\u00a0House Oversight Committee\u00a0subpoenaed several banks for the Biden family’s financial records.
Bank of America, HSBC USA N.A., JPMorgan Chase, and Cathay Bank were all subpoenaed as part of an investigation into the Biden family, according to a\u00a0memo\u00a0obtained by\u00a0Politico.
Hunter Biden’s\u00a0former business associate Mervyn Yan was also subpoenaed as part of the investigation. The subpoenas are asking for documents reaching back nearly 14 years.
The revelation was made by committee member Rep.\u00a0Jamie Raskin\u00a0(D-MD). He wrote a memo complaining that Republicans were withholding information about the investigation from the Democrats in the committee.
“Committee Republicans\u2019 decision to conduct this probe behind a veil of secrecy runs counter to the Committee\u2019s traditional commitment to transparency and raises serious questions about the integrity of the investigation,” he wrote.
“Further, Chairman Comer\u2019s furtive actions have resulted in at least one misaddressed subpoena and the release of private citizens\u2019 personal financial information that was compelled by Committee Republicans without any notice to the affected parties,” Raskin said.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) bashed the Maryland Democrat in a response, saying he was improperly exposing investigative information in an attempt to hide the truth.
“Ranking Member Raskin has again disclosed Committee\u2019s subpoenas in a cheap attempt to thwart cooperation from other witnesses,” Comer said in a\u00a0statement\u00a0to Fox News.
“Given his antics with the first bank subpoena, the American people and media should be asking what information Ranking Member Raskin is trying to hide this time. No one should be fooled by Ranking Member Raskin\u2019s games. We have the bank records, and the facts are not good for the Biden family,” the chairman said.
Raskin released a\u00a0letter\u00a0on Thursday demanding that Democrats get equal access to information in the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
