The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday launched an investigation into then-VP Joe Biden’s abuse of Air Force Two by allowing his son Hunter to tag along.
GOP lawmakers sent a letter to the National Archives demanding flight logs for every time Hunter joined Joe Biden on Air Force Two.
Recall, Hunter Biden received a $1.5 billion loan from the Bank of China after traveling on Air Force Two with daddy VP Joe Biden back in 2013 and the Secret Service redacted documents related to that trip.
According to Secret Service travel records obtained by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch last year, Hunter Biden took 411 trips across 29 countries between 2009 and 2014 while his father was US Vice President.
“Recent reporting indicates that, as VP, Joe Biden abused Air Force Two by allowing his son Hunter to tag along to AT LEAST 15 COUNTRIES to sell “The Brand” to enrich the Biden family. Hunter would regularly schedule business meetings while traveling abroad with the VP according to emails from his laptop,” the GOP Oversight Committee said.
“Given this development and testimony from Devon Archer that then-VP Biden met with at least one of Hunter Biden’s associates in Beijing while visiting on official business, Chairman James Comer and Rep. Byron Donalds are calling on the National Archives to provide documents, communications, and manifests related to then-VP Biden’s misuse of Air Force Two and Marine Two,” the Committee said.

Emails on Hunter Biden’s abandoned “laptop from hell” showed

<><>the VP’s daily schedule details aided and abetted Hunter’s influence-pedaling business deals
Hunter mooched off taxpayers to advance the Biden
Crime Family’s interests every chance he got.
The House Oversight Committee demanded Wednesday that the National Archives hand over records on first son Hunter Biden’s use of Air Force Two — following a report that he caught rides to at least 13 countries during his father’s vice presidency.
The Republican-led panel asked for relevant passenger manifests from Joe Biden’s eight years as vice president by Sept. 13 — as House leaders say they could launch an impeachment inquiry as early as next month to expedite a probe of the elder Biden’s alleged role in his 53-year-old son’s foreign business ventures.
“Then-Vice President Biden’s misuse of Air Force Two and Marine Two is indicative of yet another way in which the President has abused his various offices of public trust and wasted taxpayer money to benefit his family’s enterprise, which consisted of nothing more than access to Joe Biden himself,” committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and member Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) wrote to Archivist Colleen Shogan.
“Devon Archer, a longtime Biden family associate, has stated it is ‘categorically false’ that Joe Biden played no role in his son’s foreign business dealings. Flights on Air Force Two around the world to seal business deals are evidence of that role.”
The letter demands “unrestricted special access” to “[a]ll Air Force Two and Marine Two manifests from January 20, 2009, to January 20, 2017, that include any Biden family member or associates (Eric Schwerin, Devon Archer, or Jeffrey Cooper)” as well as any “documents and communications” about such travel or “referring to or relating to any security incidents” in that period of time.
Fox News reported last week that Hunter appeared to have traveled aboard Air Force Two to Croatia, Kosovo, Serbia, Canada, Japan, Germany, Italy, Egypt, South Africa, Kenya and South Korea — in addition to better-known trips to China and Mexico that overlapped with the then-second son seeking business.
Communications suggest Hunter may have also joined his dad in Belgium and Spain.
The requests came after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Sunday that the launch of an impeachment inquiry was “a natural step forward” that “provides Congress the apex of legal power to get all the information they need.”
The Oversight Committee also is demanding that the Archives hand over communications involving then-Vice President Biden’s use of pseudonyms “Robin Ware” and “Robert L. Peters” — of which nearly 5,400 reportedly exist.
The GOP demands for records are broad. For example, McCarthy said Aug. 8 that he wants Biden to “give us his bank statements” to settle questions about whether he personally profited from Hunter and first brother James Biden’s foreign dealings.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday federal agencies should “work with” congressional inquiries and that she was unaware of what Republicans were “complaining about.”
Comer said he’s seeking Air Force Two records because “there must be accountability for this abuse of taxpayer-funded resources.”
“The walls are closing in on the Biden Family due to consistent and diligent efforts by House Republicans who’ve followed the money, conducted meticulous interviews and hearings, and uncovered undeniable corruption,” Donalds said.
Trips aboard Air Force Two featured notably in Hunter’s dealings in China and Mexico.
Hunter co-founded Chinese state-backed investment fund BHR Partners 12 days after joining his dad for an official trip to Beijing in 2013, the Wall Street Journal reported. He introduced Joe Biden to BHR CEO Jonathan Li during the trip to China’s capital.
Devon Archer, a longtime Hunter associate who served with him on the board of Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings, told the Oversight Committee on July 31 that Joe Biden and Li had coffee in Beijing — rather than a brief handshake as previously reported — and that Hunter put Li on speakerphone when he and Archer made a subsequent trip to China. The elder Biden later wrote college recommendation letters for Li’s children.
Hunter, joined by his US associate Jeff Cooper, also traveled with Joe Biden on Air Force Two to Mexico in 2016.
Hunter got peeved......apparently emailing a Mexican associate from the jet to complain about the lack of reciprocal business favors.
Hunter whined, “I have brought every single person you have ever asked me to bring to the F’ing White House and to the Vice President’s house and to the inauguration.”
But Joe’s boy complained he got nothing in return.
I don’t think so. First, too many jelly spines in the GOP. Gather the most info possible or we might not get impeachment approved by the House.
Second, assuming Joe hasn’t keeled over and is still nominally running for President, I think the best time to vote on articles of impeachment is round about January,
You know, have ancillary legal proceedings right in the midst of the primaries. What’s good for the goose…
Seems like this investigation could go on for a very long time and that’s what Republicans want to happen.
Look! squirrel 🐿️!
Maybe, just maybe, Republicans don’t want people to focus on what Republicans are not doing, like passing appropriations bills under regular order. We’ll get a CR next month that leads to an omnibus bill in December, or if rumors are correct, next March. Everything that really needs to be done will be delayed until Republicans say, yet again, “elect us and then we’ll fix things.” Like we haven’t heard that before.
I’m tired of pussies that have no fight in them.
“This is a waste of time. They have enough evidence to impeach Biden. Just get on with it.”
Agreed, it looks bad but isn’t illegal or even provably unethical.
Ooooh...they’re going after Biden for giving a ride to his son! That’ll fire up the American public...
Following the American Revolution, those colonists who remained loyal to the king were deported and their assets seized. The Biden family belong in prison and every asset taken to pay down the national debt.
Talk, talk, talk...
talk, talk, talk...
talk, talk, talk...
talk, talk, talk...
talk, talk, talk...
I won’t have that !
They don’t just talk. They also send strongly worded letters !

Why bother?
Charge him with jaywalking or something really terrible.
What a bunch of lame brains.
Exactly what I was going to write!
He took millions in bribes - get him out already!
Does anyone have any statements from the President about all this?? Did Obama have “no idea” any of this was going on?? Isn’t he forced to look criminal too or incompetent? Is he attempting not to ever comment???
Absolutely right. Ignore the murders on the streets and focus on littering.
