House Republicans asked the SEC for records related to a past inquiry involving Hunter Biden after the first son referenced Joe Biden during the SEC's investigation.
Reps. James Comer and Jim Jordan , 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.
When Hunter Biden replied to the subpoena with the requested material, the first son’s attorney also asked the SEC to be particularly confidential about the matter because of how it could affect then-Vice President Joe Biden. Comer and Jordan found it out of line for Hunter Biden to use his father as a reason to request confidentiality during the SEC’s inquiry, an observation that comes after the Republicans found during their impeachment inquiry repeated instances of the first son wielding his father’s name in business dealings.
