Comer: Treasury Hiding Reports Generated for Biden Family’s Suspicious Foreign Business Deals

WASHINGTON—House Committee on Oversight and Reform Ranking Member James Comer (R-Ky.) today renewed his request to Department of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen for information regarding Hunter Biden and other Biden associates and family members’ suspicious foreign business transactions flagged by U.S. banks and called for all documents, communications, and records related to these transactions to be preserved. The Biden Administration has publicly asserted it provides suspicious activity reports (SARs) to Congress, but it is refusing to provide any reports generated for the Biden family and Biden associates to Ranking Member Comer.

“The Biden Administration is restricting Congress’ access to SARs, and Committee Republicans are investigating whether this change in longstanding policy is motivated by efforts to shield Hunter Biden and potentially President Biden from scrutiny. Though the Committee requested documents and information ‘no later than June 8, 2022,’ the Department of the Treasury has provided no documents or information,” wrote Ranking Member Comer.

On May 25, 2022, Ranking Member Comer initially wrote to Secretary Yellen requesting information regarding Hunter Biden and other Biden associates and family members’ financial transactions flagged by U.S. banks for reporting to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network through suspicious activity reports. Despite Treasury’s assertion in the press that it provides SARs to Congress, Treasury is refusing to release SARs connected with Hunter Biden or his family and associates.

“According to the Wall Street Journal, the Biden Administration claimed, ‘Treasury has made SARs available for every request we’ve received, regardless of party, and will continue to do so.’ This is not true. During a phone call on June 13, 2022, Treasury officials informed Committee Republican staff that they will not provide SARs to Committee Republicans unless Democrats join the request. It is troubling that the Biden Administration is willing to provide a false story to the media to create the appearance of transparency while continuing to thwart congressional oversight,” continued Ranking Member Comer. “The American people deserve to know whether the President’s connections to his son’s business deals occurred at the expense of the United States’ interests and whether they represent a national security threat.”

The letter to Secretary Yellen can be found here.

Transactions over $9000 are flagged by the treasury dept. I’m betting hunter and Joe have reports 10 ft thick.

I am waiting.. I have been waiting since they put this person in the seat of power... For some patriotic American to grab his collar and remove him.

Being V President and taking in millions by his family, from nations not our friend.. Sets him up for blackmail.. Or willingly selling our oil...

Joe’s last thought is what is good for America.

I hope we see a day when we see every person who went with sheep and tried to ruin Pres Trump.... Get a taste of the power of the people.. OUT... all old guard, OUT!

Treason used to be frowned upon. The Rats see it as a clever means to their desired end: communism.

Hunter Biden and other Biden associates and family members’ financial transactions flagged by U.S. banks for reporting to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network through suspicious activity reports.

Something like 150 flagged transactions. A record. And yet none of the Sunday 'news' shows covered it...

I bet if Trump bought a paperclip with cash, a report would go in. Suspicion of using paper clips to stack cash.

You have summed things up quite nicely - and no consequences. Isn't Marxist dictatorship wonderful?!

Of course Papa Joe will face consequences before the Judge of the universe - BUT, even now, he cannot remember where all of his stolen lucre is or how much there is AND he constantly fears that someone is ripping him off... and they are! 🕵️‍♀️🎯

Oh well, whatever is left perhaps he can take it to H3ll with him!

From the article:This baldfaced lie needs to get lots of publicity. Like the laptop, the media is attempting to bury this.

Needs lots and lots of fresh air.

Don’t forget to re-request all the SARs on the Clinton Crime Family Foundation they never got.

I encourage everyone to watch a 5 part documentary series “Devolved”. Justice is on the way; we’re in the midst of irregular warfare, it’s not over, they haven’t won, it’s been very rough going for the 17 months. But the bad guys have not won, and they won’t win.

Here is the series, it isn’t gabfest, blah-blahing at all. Clips of news, facts, the narration is clean and clear and descriptive. I do NOT like watching videos and rarely do. This series is exceptionally well done, fact based, and the site has other topics as well. This series describes what Trump and his administration did before he left re: irregular warfare, COG, what’s happened since then, and the outcome.

Hold Yellen in contempt, arrest and jail her until she orders the DOJ to comply.
