The chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman James Comer, is seeking answers from the special counsel investigating President Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified information about whether the documents were in any way related to Hunter Biden’s foreign business deals or partners. Mr. Comer is seeking the information as part of the House impeachment inquiry, which Republicans are eager to restart as soon as they elect a new speaker.

“Evidence suggests President Biden may have used certain members of his family — particularly his son, Hunter Biden — to accumulate millions of dollars from foreign individuals and entities for the benefit of his family and himself,” Mr. Comer said in a statement.
