Treasury Dept. accused of blocking probe into Hunter Biden’s business dealings

The Treasury Department has been accused of stonewalling lawmakers’ requests into the business dealings of President Biden’s son Hunter Biden.

Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, said Treasury officials refused to hand over suspicious activity reports or SARs unless the committee’s Democratic leaders sign off on the request.

“Despite Treasury’s assertion in the press that it ‘provides SARs to Congress in a manner that enables robust oversight,’ Treasury is refusing to release SARs connected with Hunter Biden or his family and associates—including the President,” Mr. Comer wrote in a letter Wednesday to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
