GOP senators announce Hunter Biden conflict of interest review

Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley (Iowa) and Ron Johnson (Wis.) announced a review on Wednesday of "potential conflicts of interest posed by the business activities of Hunter Biden and his associates during the Obama administration."

Why it matters: The announcement came roughly one hour after the Senate voted to acquit President s on both articles of impeachment. The charges stemmed from Trump's request for Ukraine to investigate Hunter and Joe Biden on unsubstantiated corruption claims.

Details: The review was announced in a letter to Secret Service Director James Murray. It states the Finance Committee and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will look into Hunter Biden's business activities in Ukraine and China.

"We write to request information about whether Hunter Biden used government-sponsored travel to help conduct private business, to include his work for Rosemont Seneca and related entities in China and Ukraine," the letter reads. It also asks for "the protective detail that Hunter Biden received while his father was Vice President," and a "list of all dates and locations of travel, international and domestic, for Hunter Biden."

it will only make his father more popular as a candidate. It will keep Joe Biden's name in the news. It will show what big babies these two are. And of course trump will mix in it and make stupid tweets and statements.

Let them do it. Bring it on!

Repugs had years to investigate Biden while they held both houses of congress, Given that during that same time, they investigated everything under the sun regarding the Obama admin. Why did they skip over Hunter? Why was there no interest in the matter, but then started to when Joe announced he was running?

Nothing about Biden and Burisma was done in secret.

If Biden dropped out this would be stopped by them, then trump would demand another candidate is corrupt with another investigation based on lies is needed, like he used to hurt Hillary with. Using Barr as a fixer and his personal weapon is starting to hurt them. This is also what putins wants to happen.
