Rep. James Comer (R-KY) says that additional details regarding emails on Hunter Biden, the president's son, will be given to the House Oversight Committee this week, with Wednesday being the deadline.
The Republican lawmaker also stated that he is "headed to court" to receive access to more bank records that will tell "a big story" on what involvement President Joe Biden had with his son's business schemes, as well as how he benefited from them. The Oversight Committee has been at work for months looking into the Biden family's connection to business deals with foreign nations, and the committee is expecting additional details to be provided to them this week, Comer said on Fox News.

"I think we gave them five business days, so somewhere around Wednesday of this week will be the deadline," said Comer. "We expect National Archives to cooperate with our investigation. We don't need to prove the purpose of this investigation, I think everybody knows now."

Comer has claimed that Biden used multiple different names and aliases when emailing his son, including “Robin Ware,” “Robert L. Peters,” and “JRB Ware.” These emails were sent when Biden was vice president under former President Barack Obama, according to Comer.
"Remember, the timeline of these emails show that Joe Biden was en route from Washington to Ukraine for the sole purpose of withholding foreign aid to Ukraine in exchange for firing the prosecutor," Comer said. "And we know that happened, and we know Joe Biden accepted credit for it. He did an interview where he said, 'Well, son of a b, they fired the prosecutor before I got on the plane and left Ukraine.' Joe Biden, in his own words, said that. So, now we have evidence that Joe Biden, and his administration, was communicating with Hunter Biden."

On Friday, Biden refused to comment on the investigation into his son's business dealings, stating that he has "no comment on any investigation that’s going on." He also said any investigations were "up to the Justice Department."
Likewise, Abbe Lowell, Hunter Biden's defense attorney, dismissed questions about his client's past on Friday, indicating that the concept of joint ventures with foreign entities was "too complicated" to explain. Lowell added that Hunter Biden may be receiving tougher legal treatment than the average person due to his last name.
