House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) delivered remarks on the House floor today, expressing his support for House Resolution 918, which aims to formalize the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. Comer's remarks focused on Biden's alleged involvement in his family's corrupt influence peddling schemes.

Comer began by highlighting Biden's repeated lies to the American people regarding his family's business dealings. "He told the American people he never spoke to his son about his family's business dealings. He claimed there was an 'absolute wall' between his official government duties as Vice President and his family. He said his family never made money from China. All of these are blatant lies," Comer stated.

The investigation conducted by Comer's committee has allegedly uncovered several revelations about the Bidens' activities. "The Bidens created 20 shell companies – most of which were created when Joe Biden was Vice President. The Bidens and their associates then raked in over $24 million through these shell companies from China, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Romania between 2014-2019. At least ten members of the Biden family benefited or participated in these schemes," Comer disclosed.

According to Comer, the Bidens went to great lengths to hide the sources of the money they received. "The Bidens layered these payments through their bank accounts to hide the sources of the money. The banks even flagged many of these transactions in more than 150 suspicious activity reports to the Treasury Department," Comer revealed.

Comer also highlighted Joe Biden's alleged personal involvement in these schemes. "Joe Biden spoke to his son's associates by speakerphone over 20 times, dined with foreign oligarchs and a Burisma executive, and had coffee with his son's Chinese associate – all when he was Vice President," Comer stated.

The committee's investigation has faced obstacles from the White House, with Comer accusing it of obstruction. "The White House is seeking to block key testimony from current and former White House staff. It is also withholding thousands of records from Joe Biden's time as Vice President," Comer claimed.

Comer concluded his remarks by emphasizing the importance of holding President Biden accountable for his alleged lies, corruption, and obstruction. "President Biden must be held accountable for his lies, corruption, and obstruction. We have a duty to provide the accountability and transparency that Americans demand and deserve," Comer asserted. He urged his colleagues to support House Resolution 918, stating, "I urge my colleagues to support this important and necessary resolution."

In the wake of Comer's remarks, there is growing anticipation for the upcoming depositions and interviews with members of the Biden family and their associates. It remains to be seen how these proceedings will unfold and what further evidence may be uncovered in the impeachment inquiry.
