On Thursday during a press conference, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), along with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and other Republican lawmakers, laid out the evidence GOP investigators have already gathered on Joe, Hunter, and James Biden, which included, among other things, per Breitbart News:
“I want to be clear, this is an investigation of Joe Biden,” Comer stated. “The Biden family’s business dealings implicate a wide range of criminality from human trafficking to potential violations of the constitution.”
“In the 218th Congress, this committee will evaluate the status of Joe Biden’s relationship with his family's foreign partners and whether he is a president who is compromised or swayed by foreign dollars or influence,” he added.

Here is a transcript of some of Comer’s remarks via Grabien:
Joe Biden claimed he did not have conversations with his family about their business dealings. That was a lie. Whistleblowers describe President Biden as chairman of the board for these businesses. He personally participated in meetings and phone calls. Document showed that he was a partner with access to an office. To be clear, Joe Biden is the big guy.
This evidence raises troubling questions about whether President Biden is a national security risk and about whether he is compromised by foreign government. Despite the president’s claim that he wasn’t involved in Biden family business schemes, these photos show Joe Biden meeting with his family associates while vice president. Four different pictures.
Committee Republicans have identified over 50 countries the Biden family sought businesses in on the international side of the Biden family business. The deals were often led by Hunter Biden. And that map there behind play shows all the countries where the Biden’s had a footprint in international business dealings.
The investigation reveals a family that engaged with some of America’s most powerful adversaries, planning the sale one of the largest sources of cobalt for electric vehicles in the world to the Chinese, for example. The Bidens flourished and became millionaires by simply offering access to the family. Among the dozens of shell companies that Biden set up, there were millions of dollars of wire transfers, flights on Air Force Two to conduct personal business and meetings with heads of state all while Joe Biden was aware of what was happening.
Meanwhile, Jordan suggested that House Republicans also conduct major oversight regarding Biden’s Justice Department and FBI.
"Is the FBI going to quit interfering with elections? 2016, they spied on President Trump’s campaign. 2018, it was the Mueller investigation. 2020, they suppressed information about the Hunter Biden story. 2022, they raided the president’s home, 91 days before the election," he said, per Conservative Brief.
"Maybe it’d be nice if the FBI and the Justice Department just stayed out of it, let we, the people decide who we think should represent us, who we think should lead us. That’s supposed to be how America works," Jordan continued.
"So this is the focus on the Judiciary Committee, the political nature of the Justice Department, and the linkage now to what was happening with the Hunter Biden story, again, just 15 days before we have a presidential election," the Ohio lawmaker added.
