House Republicans are demanding to know whether one of Russia’s wealthiest women, who paid scandal-scarred Hunter Biden’s company $3.5 million, is receiving preferential treatment from the Biden administration because she has not been targeted by Treasury Department sanctions.

The GOP group, led by Rep. James Comer, the ranking member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, sent a letter to the Treasury Department Thursday questioning why Elena Baturina has so far escaped the sanctions levied on Russians after the attack on Ukraine.
Baturina, the former wife of the late mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov, wired $3.5 million in 2014 to a bank account held by Rosemont Seneca Thornton, an investment company founded by President Biden’s son.

The missive, obtained exclusively by The Post, directly questioned whether Baturina – whose fortune is estimated at $1.4 billion – is “being treated differently” from other “wealthy, politically-connected Russians” because of her ties with the president’s son.

Great post.
Cannot believe I am the first comment.
Elected Republicans taking the offensive and fighting back...
When is the last time that happened!
Big story. Funny how Hunter Biden’s best buddy pudge boy Tucker Carlson hasn’t mentioned this on his show.
Biden keeping a bribes highway open in Russia in case Ukraine falls and the party ends there. He will also likely try to reopen China as well.
Grounds for Biden’s impeachment after the midterms.
That’s why the GOP is putting all of the Biden-Russian bribery and related sanctions immunity inquiries in writing.
Re: Hunter & Tucker
Yeah, that is (was) a rather shocking friendship.
On the other hand, Tucker is the most consequential Conservative analyst who has a national main stream audience, so I am grateful for small favors.
I wonder if Tucker Carlson will continue to ignore this after Biden is impeached after the midterms for Russian Bribes for Sanctions Immunity scandal.
