House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) on Wednesday defended why he has not yet issued subpoenas in the Biden family business probe, insisting he is practicing restraint to âshow good faith,â after Hunter refused to comply with the committeeâs request for bank documents and communications.
Comer is investigating the Biden family for nine potential violations, including tax evasion, money laundering, and wire fraud. But with Hunterâs curt rejection of Comerâs request to supply a host of bank records and communications between the Biden family business members, the establishment media has raised questions of why Comer has not issued subpoenas to compel the relevant information.
âWe give people plenty of time. When you do subpoenas, if you want to win in court, you have to show good faith effort that you tried to get the information. So weâre checking some boxes,â Comer told Punchbowl News.
âWhen we do subpoena, if we have to, then weâre going to win the subpoenas in court,â he warned. âItâs not just issuing a subpoena,â Comer said. âItâs about winning.â
