Jim Jordan Vows To Find Another Way To Get Hunter Biden Documents

Carmine Sabia December 3, 2022

Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan is not waiting for the Biden administration to give him what he wants so he is finding another way.

The representative said that the Treasury Department is blocking Congress from gaining access to Hunter Biden’s business dealings.

He spoke to host Joshua Phillip on Epoch TV on Thursday and mentioned the nearly 150 “Suspicious Activity Reports” which, prior to a policy change that took effect after President Joe Biden entered the White House, where available for Congressional review.

Now the representative, who is set to become the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, wants to see them.

“Most Americans have never heard the term ‘Suspicious Activity Reports.’ These are actual reports that financial institutions file with the Treasury Department when they see suspicious activity,” the representative said.

“Typically, it’s money laundering type of activity, so most Americans don’t get these. Or if they do, there is a good reason for it. But there are 150 of them on Hunter Biden and Jim Biden, the President’s brother, and that, to me, is a big concern,” he said.

“It used to be before the Biden administration if the committee wanted to see that information, whether it was Democrats on the committee or Republicans on the committee, they could have access to it … until the Biden administration,” he said.

“So the Biden administration hasn’t complied with any of the correspondence, any of the letters and requests that came from [incoming House Committee on Oversight and Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.)]. They have changed the policy on SARs for the ability of committees to review that information,” the representative said.

“So we’ll see if we get access. Maybe we’re going to have to go to the banks to get that information and not through the Treasury Department,” he said.

The Epoch Times reported.

Following the administration’s decision, House Financial Services Committee Chairman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) introduced, and the House subsequently approved, H.R. 7734, the “Timely Delivery of Bank Secrecy Act Reports Act.” The Waters bill was approved by the House July 26, 2022, on a 349-to-70 vote, with majorities of both parties supporting the measure.

The Waters measure would require the Treasury Department to provide copies of SARs to requesting congressional officials within 30 days and requires financial institutions to turn over requested copies upon receipt of a congressional subpoena.

The Waters bill was introduced in the Senate and referred to the Senate Banking Committee, chaired by Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), but no action has been taken on the bill since being referred to the Ohio Democrat’s panel.
