Democrats claim Biden shady business deals probe is a ‘total bust’ as they ramp up war with Republicans demanding his impeachment over ties to Hunter’s business
Democrats claim Biden’s investigation into shady business deals is a ‘total failure’ as they step up war with Republicans and demand his impeachment over ties to Hunter’s company
- “Chairman Comer’s investigation has convincingly refuted Republican allegations against President Biden,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin
- Raskin claims the evidence gathered is a “total failure – an epic flop in the history of congressional investigations” designed to distract from Trump’s legal troubles
- House Republicans are considering a formal impeachment inquiry into the president
House Republicans return from August recess ready to go after President Biden over his family’s foreign business deals — but House Democrats say investigation is a ‘total failure’ , with a new memo focusing on Hunter rather than Joe.
“Chairman Comer’s investigation has convincingly refuted Republican allegations against President Biden,” stated highest supervisory committee Democrat Jamie Raskin, Maryland, in the new memo.
“The extensive evidence they have collected, including thousands of pages of bank records and suspicious activity reports and hours of witness testimony, overwhelmingly establishes no wrongdoing by President Biden and further debunks Republicans’ conspiracy theories,” the memo added.
Raskin claims the evidence gathered is a “total failure – an epic flop in the history of congressional investigations” designed to distract from Donald Trump’s mounting legal troubles.
“Chairman Comer’s investigation has conclusively refuted Republican allegations against President Biden,” top Oversight Committee Democrat Jamie Raskin, MD, said in the new memo.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy could move forward with a formal impeachment inquiry as soon as this month, he warned earlier in August — a threat Raskin pushed back against in the memo.
An impeachment inquiry hinges on whether Republicans are satisfied with the level of cooperation the Biden administration shows in providing evidence requested by the committee.
Raskin claimed the agencies have been more than cooperative, but the evidence does not imply the president’s involvement.
Comer “doesn’t lack evidence — he has substantial evidence, but it doesn’t show wrongdoing by the president and undermine the Republican Party’s false accusations,” he said. “The Biden-Harris administration has gone to great lengths to meet Republicans’ often ridiculous and transparently political demands.”
Republicans have uncovered extensive evidence that Hunter Biden and other members of the Biden family received millions from foreign oligarchs while Joe was vice president, but have not yet tied such payments directly to him.
The memo warned Republicans against launching an impeachment inquiry without more concrete evidence.
“If Republicans in the House of Representatives vote to open an impeachment inquiry in the absence of any evidence of wrongdoing, let alone the ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ required under the Constitution, they will renew efforts of former President Trump enable… to return to power and avoid being held accountable for his widespread crimes and corruption.”

Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Devon Archer, revealed to the committee last month that Joe Biden had had phone or in-person contact with Hunter’s associates 20 times over the course of a decade — though Archer did not say the president spoke directly about business .
Archer testified that Hunter sold the “Biden brand” to his employees, and just hearing the vice president’s voice on speed dial was enough to convince them to cash in. Emails and testimony have revealed that Joe Biden attended a dinner with Hunter, Archer and foreign oligarchs who paid his son twice at Cafe Milano in Washington, D.C.
“This is a transparent attempt to boost Donald Trump’s campaign by creating a false moral equivalence between Trump,” the memo said, “the four-time indicted former president who now faces 91 federal and state criminal charges, based on a mountain of damning evidence for a shocking series of crimes, including lying to the FBI, endangering national security by illegally retaining classified documents, and conspiring to undermine the US Constitution – and President Biden, against whom there is exactly zero evidence of any wrongdoing.”
