Biden family has received a lot of payments by the Chinese Communist Party: Rep. James Comer
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., discusses the latest bombshell whistleblower claim amid ongoing probe of the Biden family business dealings and the upcoming testimony from two former intelligence officials.
Rep. James Comer is pulling the curtain back on Biden's "questionable behavior" and demanding the FBI hand over "very damaging information" in relation to a "highly credible" whistleblower claim.
"Sen. Grassley and I have reviewed a legally protected and highly credible whistleblower document which alleges that there was an exchange of money for policy decisions made by then Vice President Joe Biden. We have determined that the whistleblower is extremely credible," Comer explained during an appearance on "Mornings with Maria."

An alleged whistleblower has claimed that the FBI and the Justice Department are in possession of a document that describes a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and an unnamed foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions, Fox News reported Wednesday.
The GOP rep. continued, spotlighting the fact that 9 different Biden family members received payments from a "web" of LLCs that have continuously received payments from international adversaries.
"This fits a pattern of questionable behavior that the Biden family members have been doing to receive funds. So we take this whistleblower claim very seriously. We know it exists. We know the FBI has the document. As Sen. Grassley said, it is not classified. So we want that document in our possession. And we also want to know what the FBI did to verify the claim of the whistleblower," he explained to host Maria Bartiromo.
Joe Biden caught in a 'tangled web,' 'walls closing in' around Hunter Biden: Rep. Russell Fry
Rep. Russell Fry, R-S.C., says the facts will dictate lawmakers' next move in the Hunter Biden investigation over suspicious foreign transactions.
The document, an FBI-generated FD-1023 form, allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions. Despite the seemingly "highly credible" document, as noted by Comer, the White House has refused to answer any questions about the bombshell claims.
"The FBI and the IRS have a history of turning a blind eye and burying it, just like they did with the laptop. They thought when they got that laptop from the repairman that they took, it disappeared. They didn't know that there were copies out there. So we want to know, what did they do with this document?" Comer continued, Friday.
"There's no question as to whether or not this whistleblower is highly credible. The question is, what did the FBI do with this information, very damaging information that they received during the presidential election."

"Chuck Grassley served for decades with Joe Biden in the U.S. Senate. He has known Joe Biden for over 40 years, and he's dead set on uncovering public corruption with this family. That's how confident he is that public corruption exists, and he's frustrated with the intelligence community because they continue to lie to him. They have lied time after time. We know this document exists. We want the document, and we want to know what they did to verify the document."
