Newly installed as Chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, Kentucky Rep. James Comer fired off a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen demanding they provide information about the Biden family including Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) generated by banks that flagged activities of President Biden’s son Hunter, his brother James, and Biden family associates.

Comer’s predecessor as Chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee was former New York Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, who lost her re-election bid in 2022 to Rep. Jerrold Nadler after redistricting drew them both into the 12th district.

“Members of the Biden family have a pattern of peddling access to the highest levels of government to enrich themselves, often to the detriment of U.S. interests,” the website of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee now states. “We are committed to following the Biden family and associates’ money trail—consisting of many complex, international transactions worth millions of dollars—and providing answers to the American people. The American people deserve to know whether the President’s connections to his family’s business deals occurred at the expense of American interests and whether they represent a national security threat.”

Comer noted in his letter that despite the Committee on Oversight and Accountability investigating President Biden’s involvement in his family’s foreign business practices and international influence peddling schemes, the Department of the Treasury had refused their requests to provide information.

“The Committee is investigating President Biden’s knowledge of and role in these schemes to assess whether he has compromised our national security at the expense of the American people,” Comer wrote. He asked Treasury to produce documents and information including “All SARs generated in connection to Robert Hunter Biden, James Biden, Sara Biden, John R. ‘Rob’ Walker, Eric Schwerin, Devon Archer, and corporate entities linked to them.”

In addition, Comer requested “All documents and communications between or among FinCEN, the Department of Treasury or its affiliated agencies, and the White House regarding Robert Hunter Biden, James Biden, Sara Biden, John R. ‘Rob’ Walker, Eric Schwerin, Devon Archer and corporate entities linked to them.”

Comer noted that in 2022, Treasury stated it “has made SARs available for every request we’ve received, regardless of party, and will continue to do so.” He fired, “However, Treasury’s lack of a substantive response to Republican requests for SARs and other information in the 117th Congress indicates that Treasury’s leadership abandoned this policy at a similar time when we requested information regarding the Biden family. Treasury subsequently in 2022 informed Committee Republican staff that it would provide SARs to congressional committees only in response to requests made by committee chairs.”

But now Comer is the chairman. He stated, “I now make these requests pursuant to my authority as Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability.”

Actress Michelle Yeoh didn’t put up with Golden Globes producers trying to cut her acceptance speech short Tuesday night during the awards ceremony.

The 60-year-old replied with a joking, “Shut up,” when the music started playing, a common tactic used to usher talent off the stage when their remarks drag on too long.

“I can beat you up,” Yeoh continued. “And that’s serious.”

Yeoh was on stage accepting the award for Best Actress in a motion picture, musical, or comedy category for her depiction of laundromat owner Evelyn Wang in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The Malaysian star has been working in Hollywood for decades, starting with the James Bond film “Tomorrow Never Dies” (1997).

She also starred in the Oscar-winning martial arts drama “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”

“I’m just going to stand here and take this all in,” she said during her speech on Tuesday. “Forty years … I’m not letting go of this.”

“When I first came to Hollywood, it was a dream come true … until I got here. I came here and was told, ‘You’re a minority,’” Yeoh said of her career experience. She also discussed getting fewer parts as she got older.

“I thought, ‘Hey, come on girl. You had a really, really good run,’” she said.

“Thank you A24 for believing in these two goofy, insanely smart, wonderful geniuses, [directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert], who had the courage to write about a very ordinary immigrant, aging woman, mother, daughter,” Yeoh said of the film company which distributed “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

“I was given this gift of playing this woman who resonated so deeply with me and with so many people because, at the end of the day, in whatever universe she was at, she was fighting for love, for her family,” she continued.

Yeoh previously talked about her mother’s reaction to her role in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actress revealed her mom’s surprising criticism.

“I was really worried about her seeing the sex toys that were flying around in the movie, but I guess she never noticed those. Instead, she said, ‘Why do you look so old? You should look like the film where you had the ballgown on!’ I’m like, ‘Oh my God,’” she said. 

“But that’s so typical of my mom: She wants me to run around the entire movie looking like a movie star.”
