House Oversight and Accountability Committee chairman James Comer is demanding the Treasury's top oversight official to testify to Congress after she delayed committee records requests about the Biden family's business practices. 

The Oversight Committee asked the Treasury more than a month ago to provide all Suspicious Activity Reports involving the Biden family's high-dollar or foreign activities, but the federal agency has not given a projected time as to when the requested documents will be produced, Comer, a Kentucky Republican said in a letter published Monday to Isabella More, the Treasury's Deputy Assistant Secretary for Oversight.

"[T]he Committee believes Treasury may be delaying its production to hinder our investigation and operating in bad faith," Comer wrote in the letter.

"Treasury’s excuses and delay tactics are unavailing given you have known about our request since last year and previously produced relevant [Suspicious Activity Reports] to others," Comer also said.

The hearing is scheduled for March 10 and will focus on the Treasury's response to congressional oversight.
