House Democrats, led by Representatives Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia, are intensifying their calls for a hearing to investigate Jared Kushner's foreign business dealings, particularly focusing on the $2 billion he received from Saudi Arabia. Despite these demands, House Oversight Chair James Comer and other Republicans have dismissed the requests, with Comer emphasizing his focus on preparing criminal referrals as part of his investigation into Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents. Comer has also hinted at setting the stage for a potential second Trump presidency, aiming to provide the DOJ with what he claims is necessary to prosecute the Biden family. Meanwhile, the GOP's reluctance to probe Kushner's dealings contrasts with their efforts to impeach Biden, highlighting a partisan divide in congressional oversight priorities. Notably, Comer mentioned on April 20, 2023, that there would be questions for Trump and some of his family members, including Kushner.

James Comer brushes off Democrats' request for a hearing on influence peddling by Jared Kushner. “Unlike the Bidens, Jared Kushner has a legitimate business and has a career as a business executive that predates Donald Trump’s political career." https://t.co/3MtorEGbvU
Jared Kushner Called to Face the Music https://t.co/sWUFhGbtSf https://t.co/kwwkshHnNo
Chairman @RepJamesComer just gave up his foolish impeachment quest and instead says he’ll set the stage for a second Trump presidency to weaponize DOJ for Trump vengeance. No need to read between the lines. https://t.co/T5q7FrIeqX
The GOP continues to ignore the $2 Billion Jared Kushner received from Saudi Arabia, which is why @RepRaskin and I called for hearings into his business dealings. He uses his time in the White House to expand his grift on the American people. https://t.co/cvTG7G82Mk
NEW: RMs @RepRaskin and @RepRobertGarcia urged Chairs @RepJamesComer and @RepGrothman to hold a hearing to investigate Jared Kushner's influence peddling and threats to national security: https://t.co/9GWr4SWBy1
Mr. Comer, Kentucky Republican, and Mr. Jordan, Ohio Republican, specifically said they are still waiting for the audio recordings from Mr. Hur’s interview with the president, and the audio and transcript from the special counsel’s interview with Mr. Zwonitzer.…
They had requested transcripts, notes, video and audio files from Mr. Hur’s investigation into Mr. Biden’s mishandling of classified documents and whether the president showed them to his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer. https://t.co/qqxhKn4wfG
scooplet: House Dems requesting Oversight hold a hearing on Jared Kushner's foreign business deals: https://t.co/nSNNZNfLoz Republicans already signaling it's not going to happen, but could be an area of interest for Dems next year if House flips.
In new fundraising email, Oversight Chair James Comer says he's "preparing criminal referrals as the culmination of my investigation." When Trump wins, Comer says, "it’s critical the new leadership at the DOJ have everything they need to prosecute the Biden Crime Family" https://t.co/J3oVgTjf0E
With America clear they don’t have the evidence and Republicans clear they don’t have the votes, it’s time for Chairman Comer to pack up his Russian-themed impeachment circus and find some honest work. https://t.co/wVc5uimQPC
