The report says that James and Hunter Biden were paid over $10 million by companies associated with foreign countries or governments when Joe Biden was vice president. It does not provide proof of decisions made by then-Vice President Biden that were influenced by his relatives.

The Biden White House is responding by pointing to what Fox News itself is saying about the report. On Thursday morning, network host Steve Doocy
responded to Comer’s claims of “influence peddling” by the Biden relatives.
“That’s just your suggestion. You don’t actually have any facts to that point. You’ve got some circumstantial evidence,” Doocy told Comer. “And the other thing is, of all those names, the one person who didn’t profit — there’s no evidence that Joe Biden did anything illegally.”
Comer said Republicans hope to still find evidence of “active participation” by the president. This was an implicit admission that to date they have found none.
But these stories are years old. Comer had predicted that this week’s report would advance the story by providing new information about the president’s connections to these business dealings.
The lack of any real new developments has opened Comer to criticism that he is using government resources to rehash old stories in an attempt to influence the 2024 presidential election.
That sounds like a witch hunt. They dont have any evidence of Joe Biden doing anything wrong but they sure are hoping to someday find some.
Former President Donald Trump’s children also
conducted business overseas with clients who could benefit from government action, which also drew criticism at the time.
