A group of Republican lawmakers called for an investigation into Hunter Biden’s Chinese business dealings, with one senator demanding Attorney General Merrick Garland appoint a special counsel.
Republicans from both the House and Senate blasted “Biden, Inc.” for the lack of transparency in Hunter’s Chinese dealings that involved companies linked to the highest echelons of the Chinese Communist Party.
"The Attorney General should immediately appoint a special counsel to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden's business dealings with Communist China," Sen. Marsha Blackburn said in a statement to Fox News. "Joe and Hunter have been long intertwined with Beijing and profited off shady business deals with the CCP."
"Hunter Biden's firm even helped a Chinese company with a $3.8 billion cobalt mine purchase, and invested in a company with ties to high level CCP officials," she continued. "Biden Inc. must provide a list of the foreign business deals they've been involved in and come clean with the American people."
Sen. Ron Johnson said that when he and Sen. Chuck Grassley released a report in September of 2020 revealing information on Biden-CCP transactions, they “knew that information was just the tip of the iceberg.”
"While more information about Hunter Biden’s questionable financial arrangements have come to light since then, the full extent of Biden Inc.’s financial entanglements with the CCP has yet to be uncovered," Johnson said. "Senator Grassley and I are continuing our oversight efforts despite the Biden administration’s lack of transparency and potential cover-up."
Minority Whip Steve Scalise said that the "Biden Administration’s appeasement of China is dangerous, and the entanglements that people close to or directly in the Administration have with the CCP are alarming."
"In fact, just this week, House Democrats have a bill on the floor that gives billions to UN slush funds that have sent American taxpayer dollars directly to the CCP," Scalise continued. "Full investigations into these practices are needed, and House Republicans will be conducting rigorous oversight when we take back control of the House."
Other lawmakers, including House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, Rep. Lisa McClain, also slammed the Biden administration and Hunter’s Chinese dealings.
