Donald Trump Jr. recently took to his Twitter account and posted the following:
“What is Hunter hiding?
Don’t fall for the fake notions of transparency with “public hearing”. It’s the exact opposite of what they’re telling you. Closed door testimony is far more rigorous, done by professionals and investigators, and the only way to get into the details. There’s a reason Hunter does not want to do it that way and I promise you it’s not transparency. What a joke.”

Meanwhile, Rep. James Comer, a multimillionaire farmer, brags of being one of the largest landholders near his rural Kentucky hometown. It has been noted that he has meticulously documented nearly all of his landholdings on congressional financial disclosure documents – roughly 1,600 acres (645 hectares) in all.
But there are 6 acres (2.4 hectares) that he bought in 2015 and co-owns with a longtime campaign contributor that he has treated differently, transferring his ownership to Farm Team Properties, a shell company he co-owns with his wife.
Interviews and records reviewed by The Associated Press provide new insights into the financial deal, which risks undercutting the force of some of Comer’s central arguments in his impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden.
It has gone for months that the chairman of the House Oversight Committee and his Republican colleagues have been pounding Biden, a Democrat, for how his relatives traded on their famous name to secure business deals.
In particular, Comer has attacked some Biden family members, including the president’s son Hunter, over their use of shell companies that appear designed to obscure millions of dollars in earnings they received from shadowy middlemen and foreign interests.
