Republicans Risk Backlash in Hunter Biden Probe

February 7, 2023 · 1:20 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“The House Republican investigation into the financial dealings of President Joe Biden’s family risks turning off more voters than it attracts,” Bloomberg reports.

“The Biden-centric investigation led by the Oversight and Accountability Committee kicks off Wednesday morning, just hours after the president delivers his State of the Union address to Congress. At the center of the probe is the contents of the laptop of Biden’s son Hunter — a topic that’s been a far-right preoccupation since 2020.”

“Yet a series of recent polls show the majority of Americans just aren’t that interested in what may or may not be on Hunter Biden’s hard drive.”
