House Republicans asked the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday for records related to its inquiry involving Hunter Biden‘s business associates in 2016 after the lawmakers found the first son had referenced President Joe Biden during the SEC’s investigation.
Reps. James Comer (R-KY) and Jim Jordan (R-OH), who are leading an impeachment inquiry into the president, requested in a letter all SEC records connecting Hunter Biden to the commission’s 2016 investigation, which resulted in the SEC charging seven people with fraud.
“To further the House’s impeachment inquiry the Committees must determine the propriety with which SEC handled this matter,” Comer and Jordan wrote.
