The GOP’s Hunter Biden Obsession Is Reaching New Heights of Hypocrisy

The Facts
According to a US House Oversight Committee spokeswoman, staff investigating the Biden family's business dealings were set to begin reviewing certain bank activity reports related to members of the Biden family and their business partners on Wednesday afternoon.
According to a press statement, the Treasury Department has granted the committee an “in camera” review of the documents. This means there will be some restrictions on how the committee can view and access them.
The Spin
Democratic narrative
This probe underlines the hypocrisy of the new House, which has halted the Democrat-led investigation into former Pres. Donald Trump's tax returns, while at the same time launching an unfounded investigation into Pres. Biden and his family. Comer has had an unnecessary fixation on Hunter Biden for years and is merely using him to target the president.
Republican narrative
This investigation is prudent, as there's plenty of evidence that Joe Biden was actively involved with his son Hunter Biden's shady business dealings, and it's only fair to the American people that the situation is investigated to determine whether or not presidential influence was compromised.
