The situation with Hunter Biden seems to be getting heated. As we reported, the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden supposedly has reached a “critical stage” with the U.S. Attorney considering whether to charge him, according to multiple reports.
In the meantime, Congressional oversight has grown in Hunter’s case over recent months.
House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Rep. James Comer (R-KY) sent a letter to Hunter Biden’s financial adviser Edward Prewitt, demanding he turn over documents regarding transactions flagged by banks with Suspicious Activity Reports, financial information on Biden’s businesse,s and any communications from Hunter Biden, James Biden, Joe Biden, Eric Schwerin, or any agent for them. In the letter, Comer stated that Hunter Biden was aware that he was being monitored by these reports and wanted to hide it. The letter also went into Joe Biden’s possible connection.

Text messages show that Hunter Biden was aware of these SARs and took steps to avoid detection in his financial dealings.2 Information reviewed by Committee Republicans reveals you were advising Hunter Biden on financial transactions when U.S. banks were flagging suspicious activity by the Biden family.3 As Hunter Biden’s financial advisor, you are in a unique position to know how these transactions originated and why they were flagged by U.S. banks. As such, we request information regarding Hunter Biden’s financial transactions, including any documents related to SARs.
Documents reviewed by Committee Republicans show you and your firm managed the financial accounts of Hunter Biden’s business entities Owasco PC, Owasco LLC, Skaneateles, and Rosemont Seneca Advisors. Your firm was also at least aware of transactions made by Hudson West—another Hunter Biden company—which has been used in transferring millions of dollars to Hunter and James Biden from CEFC, “a company that’s effectively an arm of the Chinese Government.” This raises serious questions about what these transactions were for and whether money was transferred to the Biden family from America’s adversaries.
Additionally, the records reviewed by Committee Republicans show transactions connected to Hunter Biden’s accounts were flagged by Wells Fargo Corporate Compliance for further scrutiny and you brought this fact to Hunter Biden’s attention in an email. These documents also tie Eric Schwerin who had access to Joe Biden’s financial accounts to the same accounts managed by your firm and tied to the Bidens. Schwerin—a longtime business associate of Hunter Biden had multiple meetings with then-Vice President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, as well as foreign business associates, according to records in the possession of Committee Republicans. Schwerin’s inclusion in these transactions raises questions about President Biden’s involvement in the management and knowledge of these various entities’ activities.
“The American people deserve to know the President’s connections to his son’s business deals, which have occurred at the expense of American interests and may represent a national security threat,” Comer wrote to Prewitt.
Prewitt didn’t respond to inquiries from Fox News.
Meanwhile, the senators who have been pursuing Hunter Biden oversight are raising even bigger questions about the FBI and the DOJ being tainted by politics, in what cases they choose to pursue and what cases they don’t choose to pursue.
Chuck Grassley, a ranking senator on the Senate Judiciary Committee (Republican-IA), wrote a letter to Christopher Wray, FBI Director, and Attorney General Merrick Galrland, indicating that he received information about the FBI from whistleblowers. According to whistleblowers, there was a deliberate effort by certain FBI officers to discredit negative information regarding Hunter Biden. Grassley claimed he knew of information suggesting that the FBI was opening investigations into Trump’s campaign using media reports. However, Grassley also said that he could find out about Hunter Biden disinformation.
I remain very concerned that political bias by a select group of Justice Department and FBI officials has infected the Justice Department’s and FBI’s usual process and procedure to open and pursue high-profile and politically charged investigations. […..]
Attorney General Garland and Director Wray, simply put, based on the allegations that I’ve received from numerous whistleblowers, you have systemic and existential problems within your agencies. The country has an obligation to you to investigate these claims and take them seriously.
Grassley presented the same issues to Newsmax.
This goes well beyond Hunter Biden. It also raises the larger issue of whether Justice Department employees are closing cases that shouldn’t be closed because of political influence, Sen. Chuck Grassley told Newsmax. @Greta Van Susteren. pic.twitter.com/N5qlv7FCpO

Sen. Ron Johnson (R.WI) continues to demand the appointment a special counsel as well as an investigation into whistleblower allegations. Johnson claims that the FBI may have attempted to subvert their congressional investigation.
“If these recent whistleblower revelations are true, it would strongly suggest that the FBI’s August 6, 2020 briefing was indeed a targeted effort to intentionally undermine a Congressional investigation,” Johnson wrote in the Tuesday letter. “The FBI being weaponized against two sitting chairmen of U.S. Senate committees with constitutional oversight responsibilities would be one of the greatest episodes of Executive Branch corruption in American history,” Johnson continues.
“For nearly two years I have sought to get information from the FBI and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) about the purpose of, and who ordered, this briefing. In a letter to Wray, Haines and Grassley, we reiterated our requests on May 3rd 2021. Both failed to provide complete responses,” Johnson stated.
Grassley and Johnson have been demanding answers for months, and it looks like with the latest whistleblower information, they’ve finally had enough and they’re demanding answers from Garland and Wray.
