House Republicans seek records to determine if Biden family used Joe Biden's political career to 'sell access around the world'
The Wednesday deadline has passed for Hunter Biden, James Biden and business partner Eric Schwerin to hand over documents to the House Oversight Committee related to their foreign business dealings, which means House Republicans could resort to subpoena to obtain the information they seek.
A spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee told Fox News Digital Thursday that they had "received correspondence" from Hunter and James Biden's attorneys, but the committee still appears to be in discussions with them over the requested documents.
"Oversight Committee staff will be in communication with them about Chairman Comer’s request. We are also in contact with Eric Schwerin’s attorney and expect him to start producing documents to the Oversight Committee soon," the spokesperson said Thursday.
It is not clear if Republicans plan to issue subpoenas. Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas., who sits on the Oversight Committee, told Fox News Wednesday that a subpoena order would be a "last resort," but said, "I think we're really close to it, frankly."
The committee this month asked Hunter Biden and Schwerin to turn over information and records related to Hunter’s foreign business dealings as Republicans probe whether members of the Biden family leveraged Joe Biden's position as vice president to ''sell access around the world."
"If President Biden is compromised by deals with foreign adversaries and they are impacting his decision-making, this is a threat to national security," Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said in a statement at the time.

Why would they when there will be no penalty for not complying?
Send the Capitol Police to arrest them
You mean no leftist rage for endangering “democracy”? no contempt charges? no early morning raids being brought to us live via CNN?
The ‘right’ don’t go after the families, friends, past friends, past associates, neighbors, and deceased relatives of leftist.
The leftist are protected species that should be on the extinct list by now.
If they were serious they would have sent subpoenas from the very beginning. What’s all this pussy footing around?
This needs to become a case study on how to dismantle a criminal political ongoing enterprise. If they don’t do it quick, it’s a lost cause and we might as well get the tree of liberty a long tall drink.
Oh how scary... a “deadline” from a gutless POS Repukelican committee is the equivalent of an O-hole “red line”.
HAHAHA. Sons of the kings don’t answer to the smelly people.
The thumb screws are getting tighter on the Biden crime family.
Rut Roh............contempt orders coming ? And then refusing to comply and then? Will Judge Emmet Sullivan enforce a contempt of Congress order?
This animal has to have teeth or Congress will have to gum them to death.
