A day after Republicans won a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, they announced investigations into President Joe Biden, 79.

Wasting no time. The first day of power, 'Vengeance.' Rather than concentrating on the “people’s problem” dealing with rising inflation and astronomical food and gas prices. History repeats itself, which will bite them in the butt. They are doing the same thing the Democrats did.

Representative James Comer (50) said on Thursday in Washington that the Committee on Oversight and Reform would evaluate bank documents and statements from informants about the President and his son Hunter Biden (52). Comer is expected to chair the panel.

"I want to be clear," Comer said. The behavior of Joe Biden is being investigated. "That's what the committee will focus on at this next Congress." The issue at stake is whether the President has been compromised by foreign money and whether he poses a threat to national security. "This investigation will have the highest priority." The investigation will also seek testimony from Hunter and other family members.

A government spokesman dismissed the suspicions as politically motivated attacks based on long-debunked conspiracy theories.

Former President Donald Trump (76) and his allies have criticized Hunter Biden for years over his business dealings in Ukraine and China. The President's son held a lucrative post on the supervisory board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma between 2014 and 2019, while his father was the U.S. vice president in charge of Ukraine. Joe Biden allegedly knew about the deals, Republicans allege. In addition, Hunter Biden disclosed in 2020 that federal prosecutors were reviewing his tax records.

Joe Biden has stated that he did not discuss foreign business with his son and that his Justice Department would be independent in any investigation of a family member.

Nancy Pelosi resigns

After the midterm elections, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (82) relinquishes leadership of the Democratic Party in the Congress Chamber. In an emotional speech in the House of Representatives in Washington on Thursday, she said she would not run for re-election to a Democratic leadership position in Congress. The time has come for "a new generation" to lead the Democratic Party. But she will remain a member of parliament. Hakeem Jeffries (52) is the favorite to succeed her.
