Republican Rep. James Comer has accused Joe Biden’s legal team of threatening witnesses who were set to testify in an ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
During an interview, Comer spoke about the pressure that has been placed on witnesses in his district, saying, “We’ve got witnesses that are scared to death to come forward. They fear for their lives.” He also mentioned that banks that had worked with his investigation were being squeezed by high-ranking officials in the Democrat Party for complying with subpoenas.
Comer went on to express his disappointment with the way the attorneys have been behaving, adding that they are “testing the limits with respect to witness intimidation.” He also accused Jamie Raskin, a Democrat representative from Maryland, of serving as an attorney for the Biden family, saying, “He was all about investigating and impeaching Donald Trump. But then evidence emerges, thanks to us, about wrongdoing within the Biden family, and he then quickly becomes a defense attorney.”
Comer’s comments are just the latest in a string of accusations being made against the Biden family. Republicans have been investigating Hunter Biden’s business dealings for months, with many claiming that he used his family connections to gain financial advantage. The investigation has gained momentum recently, with Comer claiming to have found evidence of payments to nine members of the Biden family for influence peddling.
