Senators’ requests for highly sensitive and closely-held financial
records about Hunter Biden and his associates and turned over
“‘evidence’ of questionable origin” to them





The Treasury Department has complied with Republican senators’ requests for highly sensitive and closely held financial records about Hunter Biden and his associates and has turned over “‘evidence’ of questionable origin” to them, according to a leading Democrat on one of the committees conducting the investigation.

For months, while the impeachment controversy raged, powerful committee chairmen in the Republican-controlled Senate have been quietly but openly pursuing an inquiry into Hunter Biden’s business affairs and Ukrainian officials’ alleged interventions in the 2016 election, the same matters that President Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani unsuccessfully tried to coerce Ukraine’s government to investigate.

The only way it will end is if we take back the Senate, along with the White House, in November.

but is this lawful to do this to a private citizen? Why can't the house call Trump Kids and put out the news of what is said about all who is involved with the cover up? Also two can play that game.I hope Hunter refuse to go as well as sue the Treasury.
