The Biden administration is blocking the release of Treasury Department records revealing suspicious foreign business transactions by President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden and Biden family members, House Republican leaders reveal

On May 25 Congressman James Comer, the ranking Republican on the House Oversight Committee, requested Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen turn over “suspicious activity reports” or “SARs” naming Biden family members and business associates.

SARs are created when U.S. banks report possible illegal activity to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.  Comer requested Yellen turn over all reports for Biden family members by a June 8 deadline.

Yellen refused to comply, and House Republicans

“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,” Comer wrote to Yellen in response.

“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,” Comer reveals.

“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,” said 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,” said Comer.

Comer has requested:

  1. All SARs generated in connection with Hunter Biden, James Biden, Sara Biden, John
  2. Walker, Eric Schwerin, Devon Archer and corporate entities linked to them, including but not limited to Rosemont Seneca Advisors LLC, Rosemont Seneca Partners, Rosemont Seneca Technology, RSTP II Alpha Partners, RSTP II Bravo and Equity Distribution Trust, Hudson West III, Owasco LLC, and Skaneateles LLC.
  3. All documents and communications between or among the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the Department of Treasury or its affiliated agencies, and the White House regarding Hunter Biden, James Biden, Sara Biden, John R. Walker, Eric Schwerin, Devon Archer and corporate entities linked to them.
  4. All documents and communications between or among FinCEN, the Department of Treasury or its affiliated agencies, and any financial institution referring or relating to Hunter Biden, James Biden, Sara Biden, John R. Walker, Eric Schwerin, Devon Archer and corporate entities linked to them.
  5. All documents and communications from January 20, 2021, to present relating to anypolicy or procedural changes regarding the treatment of SARs, their preservation, and their availability to Congress upon request.

    their guilt!! By all means dig up something on Trump even if you have to make it up that is
    the ( democratic way ) !!! There is so much there to reveal !! After mid terms it must be done.
    They think they are like the Clintons total Teflon!!! We must cut through that before our

    AND HIS FAMILIY THAT IS INVOLVED IN THIS MATTER ALSO BE INDICTED..

    thank you

  5. If this had been a Trump family matter? F.B.I. and Dept. of Justice along with CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC & CBS would be talking about this on every show, every minute of the day and investigating Donald Trump on what he knew, when, where, what extent and then “Impeachment proceedings” would ensue! America would never hear the end of it!!!!!

  6. Dear Dad, George assured me that he could buy off all the necessary persons. No worries. Best wishes, your devoted son, Hunter.

  7. Nothing, for the present time, can be done, while unlawful democrats are allowing all sorts of crimes in our country go unpunished, to hold democrats accountable. They have carte blanche on breaking of the laws. It doesn’t apply to them. They are immune from penalties. We will have to wait to restore our Constitution laws back in order, when the Republicans take control of all three branches of government. Under the democrats, we have become a lawless society. When our own president permits the breaking of our constitution law, and he commits most of the breaking, we have a chaotic rogue government. That is why crime is sky high, and accounting for it is required of it. Our country is like it was in the roaring 20s. The gun is the only rule of law, and they want to take that away so no one can defend themselves. When they take guns away then they will have complete control of the people. That is their goal. They know that is the only defense we have to combat crime against our personal well being.
    It is imperative and critical for Republicans to once again take control of America. We are the only ones who still value our constitution. With Republicans you will get fair and equal justice for all people. Just as it states in our constitution. Democrats are sell outs to the globalist and socialist elites who want to control the world. Bring sanity and stability back into our society and culture. Vote Republican!!

  8. Hey another thought!!!! Form a Republican Committee !! Call it July 6!!! Order them to appear
    with the documents or be arrested & held in contempt of committee !!! Turn about fair play!!!

  9. Why is NOBODY able to take over control from this SENILE, FAKE, President with a Communist administration that is purposely destroying America???? The military, US Marshall’s, the Courts, a Coup or anybody, PLEASE!!!! Fortunately I don’t have long to live, but I fear for my grandchildren and yours. This is INSANITY and EVIL, that these people are allowed to remain in power. It’s time for a cleansing of America.
