House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer has subpoenaed Bank of America for more than a decade of records related to Hunter Biden's business dealings, according to the panel's top Democrat.
Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland disclosed the Feb. 27 subpoena in a scathing letter accusing Republicans of carrying out a one-sided probe into the Biden family while overlooking alleged conflicts of interests and foreign influence under President Trump.
The Bank of America subpoena requested “all financial records” for three individuals dating back to Jan. 20, 2009 - when President Biden served as vice president, he said “These documents go well beyond any business deal with Hunter Biden or CEFC,” said Mr. Raskin. “I fear this wildly overbroad subpoena suggests that your interest in this investigation is not in pursuing defined facts or informing public legislation but conducting a dragnet of political opposition research on behalf of former President Trump.”
Suspicious activity reports give banks a mechanism to flag transactions for the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. In response, Treasury said it would “identify potentially responsive documents” and “make determinations concerning how to accommodate legitimate legislative needs while also protecting Executive Branch interests, including law enforcement needs.”
