The precedent set by the House Jan. 6th Select Committee in obtaining relevant documents as evidence against former President Donald Trump and issuing subpoenas for their investigation could be a boon for Republicans in the congressional probe into the Biden family's overseas business dealings.
The Jan. 6 panel demonstrated that it could conduct oversight and gain access to evidence and witnesses even as the Justice Department conducted a sprawling criminal probe into the same figures and issues, and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told Just the News he plans to ride those precedents.
"They set a lot of precedent during that Jan. 6 committee that I think they're gonna regret with respect to this Biden investigation," he told the Just the News, No Noise television show.
Comer and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan are currently investigating President Joe Biden's possible involvement in Hunter's foreign business deals. Biden has repeatedly said he had no knowledge or involvement with his son's businesses, but documents and testimony given to the committee call those denials into question.
