House Republicans are continuing to investigate business deals involving Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, and his associates with foreign entities.

Eric Schwerin, a key business associate of Hunter Biden and an individual with dealings in Joe Biden’s business and tax affairs, is “cooperating” with the House Oversight and Accountability Committee’s investigation.

Committee Chairman James Comer has stated that he believes Schwerin will be a “very valuable witness” for the investigation. The committee recently received information that Hunter Biden and his uncle, James Biden, are not planning to disclose all the information the committee has requested regarding the Biden family’s foreign business transactions.

As a result, Comer has announced that his committee will begin issuing subpoenas immediately.

“We’re going to start subpoenaing people in the private sector, we’re going to start subpoenaing financial institutions to get us the information. And then we’ll go from there,” Comer said. He noted that refusing to assist in the investigation undercuts Hunter Biden’s claims that he has nothing to hide.

Although both Joe Biden and Hunter Biden have refuted any wrongdoing by the Biden family, Hunter Biden is being investigated by federal authorities for tax-related matters.

According to emails found on a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, which was turned over to the FBI in 2019, Schwerin, a business executive at Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca investment firm, had a close relationship with both Hunter and Joe Biden during the majority of the elder Biden’s tenure as Vice President and his son was involved in international business deals.

One such instance involved Schwerin’s involvement in reviewing and facilitating Hunter Biden’s business transactions with the Chinese energy company CEFC.

This relationship has raised questions about whether the Biden family has been compromised by communist China, as the emails indicate that they received an expensive diamond and a multimillion-dollar, no-interest, forgivable loan.

“But we all know that this family was involved in influence peddling. And this administration is doing everything in its ability to try to block oversight,” Comer said.

Another report this week exposed that John Robinson “Rob” Walker, another controversial Hunter Biden business associate, appears to have visited the White House at least 16 times when Joe Biden was vice president.

“Walker’s name resurfaced a couple of weeks ago when House Oversight Committee Republicans said they obtained records showing members of the Biden family received more than $1 million in payments from accounts related to Walker and their Chinese business ventures in 2017,” Fox News reported.

“Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., obtained the records after subpoenaing Bank of America, which revealed that at least three family members received lucrative payments from a bank account belonging to Walker, who worked with Hunter, President Biden’s brother Jim, their business associate James Gilliar and Tony Bobulinksi in a failed joint-venture called Sinohawk Holdings, which was meant to be a partnership with now-bankrupt energy firm CEFC, a Chinese Communist Party-linked company,” the outlet added.

According to a committee memo, “Biden family members and their companies began receiving incremental payments over a period of approximately three months” from Walker.

The investigation has been ongoing for several months, and while the Biden family maintains that they have not engaged in any wrongdoing, their actions suggest otherwise.

The refusal to disclose all of the information requested by the committee and the potential conflicts of interest with foreign entities raise concerns about the Biden family’s involvement in influence peddling.

It remains to be seen what information will be uncovered during the investigation and how it will impact the Biden administration.
