House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) called for an investigation into the Secret Service’s alleged assistance of Hunter Biden.
In an appearance on Fox and Friends on Monday, Comer described the Secret Service’s behavior as “bizarre.”
JAMES COMER SUGGESTS GOP MAY HAVE EVIDENCE JOE BIDEN KNEW OF HUNTER’S BUSINESS DEALINGS
“There are numerous instances where the Secret Service came and tried to bail Hunter out when he was in a jam, when he was in California and getting in all kinds of trouble, getting kicked out of a very exclusive hotel there. The Secret Service showed up to try to see if there was some way they could get him back to Delaware to his family to protect him,” Comer said. “And then with this gun application, there’s [sic] reports that the Secret Service went and visited the gun dealer and wanted a copy of the application.”
Particularly concerning about these instances, Comer argued, was that they occurred during a period when Biden didn’t have Secret Service protection.
“Joe Biden received Secret Service protection six months after he left the vice presidency and at the point when he declared for president. So there was about a two-and-a-half-year period there where the American people weren’t providing Secret Service protection for the Bidens, yet there are numerous instances where the Secret Service always showed up to try to help Hunter Biden. It’s bizarre,” he said.
He concluded by asking the president to “come forward and be transparent.”
A string of emails, obtained by the Conservative nonprofit organization Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act request, appeared to show one agent sharing an article from TheBlaze about the Secret Service intervening in a case where Hunter Biden’s then-girlfriend threw his gun in a public trash can, the New York Post reported.
“Oh dear…” one agent responded by email.

Another agent, a Protective Intelligence and Threat Assessment Division specialist, wrote, “It’s kind of odd that we were involved in the missing gun investigation when neither Hunter or Joe were even receiving USSS protection at the time? Hmmm.”
“Maybe we were asked for a favor?” another asked.
