Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell called out House Oversight Chair James Comer for lying about being stonewalled by Biden after Comer attempted to get Biden’s financial records in a search for anything implicating wrongdoing by Biden’s father.
Lowell came with notes: “On February 9, we wrote back to you and, while pointing out the concerns about the motive and improper basis for your requests, I specifically said, ‘I would offer to sit with you and your staff, including the ranking member and his staff, to see whether Mr. Biden has information that may inform some legitimate legislative purpose and be helpful to the Committee.’ (Lowell Ltr. at 4). You never responded to that offer. For you to now go on live television and say we did not respond or ignored your Committee’s requests is simply not true. We ask that you correct what you said, but more importantly, we remain available to have the discussion that I suggested some seven months ago.”
