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. Rather, they believe House Republicans haven’t paid enough attention to the country’s most pressing problems.
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.
Polling released last week by the Pew Research Center showed that as clashes over the debt ceiling and other key issues intensify, 65% of American adults surveyed said they are concerned Republicans would focus too much on investigating the Biden administration. A CNN poll released Jan. 26 found that 73% of American adults think House Republicans haven’t paid enough attention to the country’s most pressing problems.
The Oversight panel’s top Democrat, Jamie Raskin of Maryland, described Comer as being “on the more thoughtful and reasonable side” of his party. The Wednesday hearing will address alleged collusion by the FBI with Twitter Inc., and other technology giants to censor news reporting before the 2020 presidential election about the laptop’s contents, Biden family “shady business schemes,” and influence peddling. Three former Twitter executives are expected to testify.
Thomas Mann, a government expert at the Brookings Institution, called Comer’s investigation, along with those of some other committees, “transparently political in the same fashion as the Benghazi hearings and will likely reinforce the reputation of House Republicans as having no agenda beyond ‘Getting the libs.’”
