US Treasury says request for Hunter Biden records must come from Dem-led committee, not Republicans
That could change if Republicans take the majority in Congress this November in the Midterms
By Lawrence Richard | Fox News

The decision is the latest in a series of attempts by Republicans to get the information while the Treasury continues to deny their efforts.

In July, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., also the Ranking Member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, accused the Biden administration of changing standard operating rules to shield Hunter Biden from a potential Republican-led investigation.

"The Biden Administration is restricting Congress’ access to SARs, and Committee Republicans are investigating whether this change in longstanding policy is motivated by efforts to shield Hunter Biden and potentially President Biden from scrutiny," he wrote in a letter dated July 6, 2022.

In the letter, the Republican reiterated the request for the documents after the Treasury failed to hand over any "documents or information."

According to the report, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is requesting a statement of purpose for seeking the information and claims her refusal to comply "is not a political process."

"Since the beginning of this Administration, Treasury has made SARs available in response to authorized committee requests and continues to engage on the process with any individual members seeking information."
