House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) have both suggested that they will be able to “prove” allegations that President Joe Biden was directly involved in bribery.
Following numerous whistleblower allegations and recent testimony from Hunter Biden’s business partner Devon Archer, Comer and Jordan appeared on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” and asserted that they would be able to “prove” the president’s involvement in his son’s foreign business schemes — which amount to influence peddling and bribery.
“Devon Archer testified that they were influence peddling. We wondered what the business was. I suspected that it was influence peddling. But we heard today from someone on the inside it was influence peddling. They sold Joe Biden. That’s what the business was. And Joe Biden himself talked to every single person that has wired money to the Bidens,” Comer explained, adding: “I mean, this is very serious. Today [we] took a huge step towards implicating Joe Biden in many of these crimes.”
In Monday’s closed-door testimony, Archer reportedly confirmed that Joe Biden was on speakerphone with Hunter Biden’s business associates at least 20 times. He also revealed that Joe Biden was present at multiple dinners with Hunter’s business associates — including Yelena Baturina, the billionaire ex-wife of Moscow’s longtime mayor and one of the only Russian oligarchs that the Biden administration did not sanction in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Biden “illusion of access” apparently includes:
◾️Then-VP Joe Biden talking with Hunter’s shady foreign business associates 20+ times
◾️Letter of recommendation from VP Biden for Hunter’s Chinese business associate’s daughter
◾️Dinners at Café Milano with the VP
◾️Help… https://t.co/ap5qn6Y5s6

Fox News host Sean Hannity questioned Comer and Jordan about their investigations into the Biden family’s alleged crimes, asking whether the investigation had finally officially turned from probing Hunter Biden into the “Joe Biden bribery allegation.”
“Will you both answer yes or no — do you believe that this is now officially the Joe Biden bribery allegation?” Hannity asked. “And do you believe that you will be able to prove that, Jim Comer?”
“I sure hope so,” the Oversight Committee chairman responded. “And I do believe that there’s a lot of smoke. And where there’s smoke, there’s fire. We just heard testimony today that Joe Biden had lied to the American people.”
“Jim Jordan, do you believe that?” Hannity asked. “Do you believe that the DOJ has been helping to cover it up?”
“Well, it sure looks that way,” the Judiciary Committee chairman replied.
Jordan went on to point out that Joe Biden has repeatedly insisted that he was not involved and had not even spoken to his son about his foreign business dealings — noting that his appearance at the business dinners directly contradicts those claims.
“And I would tell you this: Joe Biden said he was not involved,” Jordan said. “There were two dinners at the Cafe Milano in D.C. One of them, as you pointed out, where Joe Biden was there for the entire dinner, both times. One of them had Mrs. Baturina, this Russian — the wealthiest woman in Russia, worth over $1 billion. So that sure is a different story than what he’s been telling us all along.”
