[American Greatness] A top House Republican investigator says the Treasury Department is restricting access to over 150 suspicious activity reports on Hunter Biden, amid explosive new revelations coming from Biden’s "laptop from Hell," and iPhone.Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the ranking member on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen last week, following up on a letter he sent in May.
"I wrote to you requesting information regarding Hunter Biden and other Biden associates and family members’ financial transactions flagged by U.S. banks for reporting to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) through Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). 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.
The congressman said that "despite Treasury’s assertion in the press ... Treasury is refusing to release SARs connected with Hunter Biden or his family and associates — including the President."
The Treasury Department claimed in May that it provides SARs to Congress "in a manner that enables robust oversight and that is consistent with how other sensitive law enforcement information is produced" and that it "has made SARs available for every request we’ve received, regardless of party, and will continue to do so."
"This is not true," Comer declared in his new letter. "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."
The congressman added: "Treasury’s actions call for investigation and raise new questions about the degree to which the Biden Administration is using the federal government to provide cover for the Biden family and its associates. 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."
