James Comer: 'Hunter Biden Was Serving As An Agent For Our Enemies'

Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Congressman James Comer (R-KY) told reporters on Wednesday that the continuing investigations of the Biden family's financial dealings, those of Hunter Biden particularly, have gained credibility with the very public collapse of a sweetheart plea deal from the Department of Justice that morning.

As reported by DC Enquirer, President Joe Biden's son appeared at Federal District Court in Delaware before Judge Maryellen Noreika, who applied judicial scrutiny to the controversial agreement between the Biden legal team and federal prosecutors and subsequently rejected it.

According to Fox News, Noreika questioned the constitutionality of the diversion clause and the broad immunities provided therein.

After news of the rejection by Noreika broke, Rep. Comer told Fox, "What we're seeing today is that the Biden family is under a whole lot more investigative scrutiny than what the media has reported."

Speaking with reporters outside of the Capitol building, he said, "I think that you're seeing our investigation that's shined a light on the many wrongdoings of the Biden family has picked up a lot of credibility today because now we see that there are a lot of crimes that this family's committed and that played out in court today."

Comer added that he holds out hope that the House GOP would be given "a lot more credibility with a skeptical media" given the revelations of the District Court.

"I said from day one – after Jamie Raskin and I got briefed in the SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) from the FBI – that the FBI said this was part of an ongoing investigation," Comer explained.

"Jamie Raskin walked out and said that that wasn't true. He lied to the American people. Now, what we've heard today in court for the whole world to see is there is an ongoing investigation because obviously the president's son has committed many, many more crimes."

But Comer's greatest condemnation was yet to come, "And the one that was mentioned in particular in court today was the violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Remember, they can't account for what they did to receive the millions and millions of dollars they received from our adversaries around the world."

"What did they do to receive that money?" he asked. "Nobody knows."

"At the very least, Hunter Biden was serving as an agent for our enemies – for communist China, for Russia, for Romania. He was getting millions of dollars from foreign nationals in these countries. You are supposed to be registered to do that, and he was not. Not only that, he wasn't paying taxes on it. They've lied about it, his dad lied about it," Comer told reporters.

He also restated what many have said since it was revealed that Hunter was appointed to the board of Burisma, "I don't think any of these countries would have acquired his services had it not been for his dad standing beside him, as he says in his text messages, putting his dad on the phone to give his son credibility."
