Republicans Issue Subpoenas Over Hunter Biden Art Sales

House Republicans subpoenaed additional Hunter Biden associates on Thursday, including his art dealer, as part of their ongoing investigation into the Biden family business dealings abroad.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) sent subpoenas to Hunter business associates Eric Schwerin and Mervyn Yan, art dealer George Bergès, and art patron Elizabeth Naftali to appear before lawmakers for depositions. The subpoenas are part of the committee’s investigation into the high priced sales of Hunter’s artwork. According to Comer, Bergès has not responded to multiple requests by the committee to come in for interviews. 

“Given the evidence the Committees have uncovered about how Hunter Biden and other Biden family members have attempted to conceal the source of the money they received from abroad, it is particularly critical for the Committees to understand the details regarding the sale of Hunter Biden’s artwork by your client’s gallery. The Committee will also seek information about any differences between the sale of Hunter Biden’s artwork and the sale of other artwork by your client’s gallery,” Comer and Rep. Jim Jordan wrote to a lawyer for Bergès. 

Bergès is requested to appear before lawmakers on December 15.

Naftali, a major Democrat donor who paid Hunter Biden for a piece of his hyper-expensive artwork, was recently appointed by President Joe Biden to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad. She is set to appear before lawmakers on December 1.

In a letter to a lawyer for Naftali, Comer and Jordan said that her “anonymity regarding her purchase of Hunter Biden’s art is no more and her position on a prestigious commission within the Biden Administration raises the Committees’ concerns.”

Yan and Schwerin are both business associates of Hunter and also requested to appear before lawmakers in December.

“Mr. Schwerin worked closely with the Biden family members, Biden associates, and Biden corporate entities that the Committees have identified as transferring millions of dollars to the Bidens, often from foreign sources,” Comer and Jordan said

On Wednesday, Comer sent out subpoenas to Hunter, the president’s brother James Biden, and Rob Walker, a former Biden family business associate.

Copies of the subpoenas, shared by the Oversight Committee’s X account, showed they demand a deposition from each individual at dates extending from the end of this month to the middle of December.

Comer also requested additional Biden family members and their associates to appear for transcribed interviews, according to the panel, including: President Biden’s daughter-in-law Hallie Biden, her sister Elizabeth Secundy, Hunter Biden’s wife Melissa Cohen, and Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski.

Grand Central Station Targeted By Pro-Palestinian Mob During Unruly NYC Demonstration

A mob of pro–Palestinian protesters attempted to kick in a door at Grand Central Station in New York City on Friday night as demonstrators throughout the city tore down American flags and vandalized buildings.

The demonstrations were part of a “flood Manhattan for Gaza” protest organized by the pro-Palestinian groups Within Our Lifetime and the City University of New York for Palestine. In the aftermath of the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel, pro-Palestinian protests have popped up throughout the U.S. 

New York Post reporter Steven Vago shared images and videos of the unruly protest, which eventually prompted authorities to temporarily shut down Grand Central Station. In one video from Vago, a group of men holding Palestinian flags can be seen trying to kick in the doors outside of the train station.

Protesters also placed a sticker on a Dior store in Manhattan that said “Resist Colonial Power By Any Means Necessary,” one photo shows. Another photo showed police congregating outside of a Starbucks store after a couple protesters yelled, “Burn down Starbucks.”

A New York Daily News reporter was also harassed by pro-Palestinian protesters with one yelling “F*** you Zionist pig.” The New York Times was targeted as well with protesters smearing fake blood on the doors outside its office. 

One demonstrator scaled a street post and ripped down several American and U.N. flags before being arrested by police while another person burnt an Israel flag. 

“Go the f*** back where you came from! You feel a certain way? Go back to where the f*** you came from!” one person told a group of pro-Palestinian protesters.

New York City Police told one group in the road to move to the sidewalk or be arrested. 

“You are unlawfully in the roadway. If you remain in the roadway and refuse to use the sidewalk, you will be placed under arrest and charged with disorderly conduct,” a NYPD officer said at one point during the night on Friday.

Multiple people were arrested by police, but the total number has yet to be released. 

Pro-Palestinian protests have taken places up in cities across the world in the wake of the Hamas terrorists attacks against Israel that left 1,400 Israelis dead and thousands wounded.
