"Hunter Biden’s connections throughout the Russian sphere of influence have now become especially relevant in the fast-moving and developing Russian war in Ukraine," the 14 GOP members wrote.
Before the 2020 elections, the New York Post published a story based on confidential correspondence they obtained that belongs to Hunter Biden, which was allegedly obtained from his laptop.
The messages indicate that he sought to use his father's position as president to advance his own business interests. Joe Biden, who was still presidential candidate at the time, claimed that Russia was behind the dissemination of this information.
The New York Times also published another article in March saying that some correspondence has been found by federal investigators to be genuine.
