With his new committee, Comer has the power to launch an investigation into corruption and abuse of power by the Biden family and any associates who may have been engaged in potentially illegal activities.
In a statement to the BBC, Comer said, "The public deserves to know the truth about the Biden family's business dealings. We need to make sure that those in power are not using their positions to line their own pockets at the expense of the American people. If there is any evidence of that, we will get to the bottom of it."
The Republican-led investigation comes after questions have been raised about the Bidens' dealings in Ukraine, China, and elsewhere. Comer has promised a "thorough and independent" investigation into any possible wrongdoing while maintaining that he is not targeting the Bidens or any other individual or group.
