The summons for documents, with few details accompanying it, is GOP lawmakers' most direct attempt to investigate the president after largely focusing on his family.

The summons for documents, with few details accompanying it, is GOP lawmakers’ most direct attempt to investigate the president after largely focusing on his family.

The two senior Republicans provided no further detail on the nature of those allegations. But the GOP has made clear for months that the ultimate goal of its Biden oversight is to find a smoking gun that might link the president to the business deals of his son Hunter, who is also under a federal investigation.

“Based on the alleged specificity within the document, it would appear that the DOJ and the FBI have enough information to determine the truth and accuracy of the information contained within it. However, it remains unclear what steps, if any, were taken to investigate the matter,” Comer and Grassley wrote on Wednesday to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland.

DOJ confirmed they received the Republicans’ letter and declined to comment. The FBI separately acknowledged that it had received the subpoena but declined to comment further.
