On Thursday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announced his plans to issue subpoenas to members of the Biden family, including Joe and Hunter, as part of the committee’s investigation into bribery and corruption allegations against the Bidens. Comer disclosed this during an interview with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox Business’ Mornings with Maria, stating, “This was always going to end with the Bidens coming in front of the committee. We are going to subpoena the family.”
On Wednesday, the Oversight Committee released bank records detailing how the Bidens and their associates received over $20 million from foreign oligarchs in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
Furthermore, the newly released memo has also substantiated that “Then-Vice President Biden met—in person, for significant periods of time” with the individuals from whom the Biden family benefited.
Comer outlined his approach to investigating the Bidens, emphasizing his focus on compiling robust evidence that will withstand legal scrutiny when he seeks access to records and testimonies from the Biden family. However, this effort is facing obstacles, as he described, “This is a complicated case, and we’re being obstructed every step of the way by the Department of Justice, by the FBI, by the Secret Service, by the IRS, and by the Biden family attorneys.”
When questioned by Bartiromo about the timing of issuing subpoenas to Joe and Hunter Biden, Comer explained that the committee intends to speak with “three or four more associates first” before proceeding. While Comer acknowledged that these investigative steps are time consuming, he noted that progress is being made at a quicker pace compared to recent investigations like the Durham probe.
Bank records and Suspicious Activity Reports maintained by the Treasury Department indicate that several members of the Biden family received funds from Hunter Biden’s international business dealings. Despite this information, Comer has expressed his inability to determine the specific nature of the Bidens’ trade, beyond the sale of government access, influence, and the Joe Biden brand.

Below is a summary of new evidence discovered by the House Oversight Committee:
Committee Staff is Releasing Payments from Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine that Occurred During Joe Biden’s Vice Presidency: The Committee has now identified over $20 million in payments from foreign sources to the Biden family and their business associates.
Hunter Biden and Devon Archer Used Rosemont Seneca Entities to Bring in Millions from Oligarchs in Europe and Asia: Using accounts nominally tied to Devon Archer (but using the familiar “Rosemont Seneca” branding), Hunter Biden received incremental payments originating from foreign sources, attempting to hide the source and size of the payments.
In February 2014, a Russian Oligarch Sent $3.5 Million to a Shell Company Associated with Hunter Biden and Devon Archer: Russian billionaire Yelena Baturina transferred $3.5 million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton, a shell company. Approximately $1 million was transferred to Devon Archer, and the remainder was used to initially fund a new company account, Rosemont Seneca Bohai, which Devon Archer and Hunter Biden used to receive other foreign wires.
In Spring 2014, a Ukrainian Oligarch Placed Archer and Biden on the Burisma Board of Directors and Agreed to Pay them $1 Million Each per Year: Burisma Holdings’ (Burisma) corporate secretary, Vadym Pozharsky, worked on behalf of the Ukrainian oligarch and owner of Burisma, Mykola Zlochevsky. Hunter Biden was initially hired by Burisma to work as counsel for the company, and Pozharsky and Zlochevsky met with Hunter Biden at a conference in Lake Como in Italy where they decided Hunter Biden would work on the board of directors with Devon Archer. Then-Vice President Joe Biden visited Ukraine soon after their first payments. Payments from Burisma for both Devon Archer and Hunter Biden were wired to Rosemont Seneca Bohai. Payments were transmitted in incremental amounts to Hunter Biden’s different bank accounts.
In April 2014, a Kazakhstani Oligarch Wired the Exact Price of Biden’s Sportscar to a Bank Account Used by Archer and Biden: In February 2014, Hunter Biden met with Kenes Rakishev at a Washington, D.C. hotel. Rakishev worked closely with the prime minister of Kazakhstan, Karim Massimov. In April, Rakishev, a Kazakhstani oligarch, wired $142,300 to Rosemont Seneca Bohai. The next day, a payment was made from Rosemont Seneca Bohai for a sportscar for Hunter Biden in the amount of $142,300. Archer and Biden then arranged for Burisma executives to visit Kazakhstan in June 2014 to evaluate a three-way deal among Burisma, a Chinese state-owned company, and the government of Kazakhstan.
Hunter Biden received millions of dollars in payments from Yelena Baturina, Burisma, and Kenes Rakishev. Vice President Biden had dinner with them in the spring of 2014 and 2015 in Washington, D.C.
