James Comer will 'absolutely' continue pursuing Hunter Biden probe despite Trump's victory
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) said he would "absolutely" continue to pursue an investigation into President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, despite Donald Trump's re-election.
During a Thursday interview on Newsmax, host Shaun Kraisman noted that the federal cases against Trump were expected to be dropped after he won the election.
"But let's reverse course here and your investigation into President Biden's son Hunter Biden," the host said. "You are leading an investigation. Are you continuing that?"
"Absolutely," Comer insisted. "We want to hold people accountable. I mean, we've done the investigation."
"We've proven that the Bidens took tens of millions of dollars from our enemies around the world, and according to the Irish whistleblowers, they never paid a penny of taxes on it," he continued. "Hunter Biden is supposed to, you know, have to face his guilty plea, and there are other charges that haven't been held in court against Hunter Biden."
"I mean, the list goes on and on and on of crimes this Biden family committed."
Kraisman seemed surprised: "So Chairman, really quick, so you're going to pursue more charges against Hunter Biden?"

"We're going to see what the new Trump Department of Justice wants to do," Comer confirmed. "I fully expect Joe Biden to pardon his son."
"I think the most important thing for me, honestly, is that we hold people in the government accountable," he added.
