White House: House GOP Biden family investigation full of 'long-debunked conspiracy theories'
White House spokesman says Republicans engaging in 'politically-motivated attacks' with investigation of Biden family business deals

The White House accused congressional Republicans of promoting "long-debunked conspiracy theories" in a swift response after House lawmakers alleged that President Biden was actively involved in overseas business dealings alongside his son Hunter.
"Instead of working with President Biden to address issues important to the American people, like lower costs, congressional Republicans’ top priority is to go after President Biden with politically-motivated attacks chock full of long-debunked conspiracy theories," said Ian Sams, a spokesman for the White House Counsel's office.
"President Biden is not going to let these political attacks distract him from focusing on Americans’ priorities, and we hope congressional Republicans will join us in tackling them instead of wasting time and resources on political revenge," he added.
After securing the House majority in the midterm elections, GOP Reps. James Comer of Kentucky and Jim Jordan of Ohio held a press conference Thursday to detail their impending investigations into the Biden administration.
Comer, who is set to chair the House Oversight Committee, said whistleblowers have come forward to detail how Hunter Biden and his relatives "flourished and became millionaires simply by offering access to the family."
"Was Joe Biden directly involved with Hunter Biden's business deals, and is he compromised? That's our investigation," Comer said.
