US Treasury Denies Republicans' Request for Hunter Biden Records

(Bloomberg) -- The US Treasury Department refused Wednesday to provide House Republicans any suspicious activity reports it may have on foreign banking and other business transactions by Hunter Biden and other members of President Joe Biden’s family.

Jonathan Davidson, Treasury’s legislative affairs chief, told House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer in a letter that he needs more details about why the panel is seeking such “highly sensitive” information.

Comer wrote on Jan. 11 to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen for any so-called suspicious activity reports — used by banks to flag what they deem dubiously large transactions — as part of his panel’s probes into overseas business and other dealings by the president’s son.

Without acknowledging whether such reports on the Bidens exist, Davidson on Wednesday instructed Comer that “improper disclosure” of such information can undermine the executive branch’s “conduct of law enforcement, intelligence, and national security activities.”

Oh, that's right. We were too busy trying to fix Trump's multitudinous fuck-ups to go investigating Trump's kids, who actually worked in his administration (against every national security advisement for them NOT to).

Tiffany. We should have investigated Tiffany! 🔎 I'm sure she must have made some money off of Daddys time in office.

Dear Chairman Comer:

The Treasury cannot comply with your request because, uhhhh, ummmm; Oh! The documents are under audit. Yeah; that’s it! They’re under audit.

I’m sure you are intimate with past inquiries into personal tax records of persons - in your Party - who made that argument.

Respectfully,
