House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-KY) is undeterred by the fact that President Joe Biden pardoned his son to try to prevent President-elect Donald Trump's Justice Department from further digging into his life — and has some ideas about how to get around it.
Speaking on Thursday's right-wing Benny Johnson Show, Comer said House and Justice Department investigators could simply start with a fishing expedition into financial documents that predate the pardon term.
"Do you think that there is a — I mean I know that he's been, apparently his dad pardoned him for all of this. But what should happen next from DOJ, when it comes to some of these, some of the heinous acts of the Bidens?" asked Johnson, putting up images and articles about Hunter Biden's scandals.

"I mean, the sky's the limit," said Comer. "The pardon goes back to 2014. And that — the reason the pardon goes back to 2014 is, that's when we requested the bank records."
As far as future investigations go, he continued, "You've been pardoned from 2014 to today. Well, let's look at 2013, 2012. We know he did stuff then... just didn't have bank records. We could get that if we want to set an example."
The pardon issued by the elder Biden effectively ended a pair of cases against his son: one involving tax violations, and one involving illegally attempting to purchase a gun. It came shortly after Trump announced his nomination of Kash Patel as director of the FBI, a hardcore MAGA loyalist with a penchant for conspiracy theories and enemy lists.
