When Republicans took control of the House last year, they didn't have much of a legislative agenda. With Joe Biden in the White House and Democrats in control of the Senate, GOP lawmakers had no illusions of passing the kind of boundary-pushing conservative policy that makes their right-wing base salivate. Instead, they promised something else to the MAGA faithful: an investigation focused on the President’s troubled son Hunter Biden.

It was one of the few areas where Republicans would have free rein. Their majorities on the House Oversight and Judiciary committees granted them the authority to obtain financial records and issue subpoenas. A full-throttle probe into the Biden family, argued Rep. James Comer, who chairs the Oversight panel, would finally expose the President's corruption.
