Lead congressional investigator into the Biden family says they are 'headed to court' over records

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) says that the committee is prepared for legal battles in their investigation of the alleged Biden family scandals and plans ultimately to win in court. 

"Everything that we do is to, in the end, win in court because that's where we're headed," Comer said on the Wednesday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "We're headed to court over bank records, documents, correspondents and a lot of other things."

On Wednesday, Comer requested deeper access to records in the Biden family probe held by the National Archives, while pointedly warning that America's historical agency is threatening to withhold some evidence as "personal."

He requested in the letter to Archivist Colleen Shogan access to a collection of memos the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has released in redacted form titled “Records on Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Their Foreign Business Dealings" under the Presidential Records Act (PRA).

"The National Archives knew when I requested correspondence pertaining to Ukraine-they knew the names were used, but they didn't tell us," Comer said. "They've already got a lot of explaining to do with their behavior."

He said that if they end up in court, the committee will have done everything right. 

"Everything we do is focused on winning in court," Comer explained. "When we believe that someone will fight us-we're trying to make the case when we go to the judge and say 'we requested two different times this information. They refuse to provide it now. That's why we're suing them.' A lot of times, if you just go straight to the subpoena, I've read rulings where they said, 'Well, you didn't give them enough time' or the National Archives would say 'we didn't have enough time to process the information.' Obviously, they're stalling."
