Republicans demand interview with Serbian UN official over his 'business relationship' with Hunter Biden: GOP claims politician introduced top Chinese Communist Party official to President's son
The House Oversight Committee is calling for the testimony of ex-President of the United Nations General Assembly Vuk Jeremic
He tried to make introductions between Hunter Biden and a Chinese energy company in 2015 – when his father was still vice president
Comes as panel ups its probe into Hunter's foreign business dealings
Republicans investigating the Biden family's alleged influence peddling have demanded an interview with a former Serbian politician with ties to Hunter and the Chinese Communist Party.
Vuk Jeremic, the ex-President of the United Nations General Assembly, allegedly introduced the President's son to an energy firms with links to the Chinese communist party in 2015.
At the time, Hunter Biden was being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to act as 'consultant' to help 'open doors' by introducing businessmen with links to Beijing to political leaders around the world, Republican Congressman James Comer claims.
Now Comer, the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, demanded Jeremic appear for an interview or hand over all documents related to any deals he had with Hunter or the Biden family.
'Vuk Jeremic is a key witness in our investigation of Joe Biden's involvement in his family's international and domestic business schemes,' Comer said in a statement to DailyMail.com.
'Mr. Jeremic's previous testimony regarding business relationships with officials who participated in international bribery schemes raises red flags that there may be evidence showing the Biden family and associates peddled influence and attempted to sell access, including to individuals connected to the Chinese Communist Party.
'If President Biden is compromised by deals with foreign adversaries, this is a clear threat to national security.
'The Oversight Committee is committed to bringing transparency and accountability to the waste, fraud, and abuse that has taken place at the highest levels of government. Mr. Jeremic's documents are crucial to this investigation.'
The Tuesday letter to Jeremic from Comer requests he appear for a transcribed interview with the Oversight panel as well as hand over documents related to CEFC China Energy, Robert Biden, James Biden and their business associates.
Comer notes in his letter: 'Evidence shows that you developed a business relationship with Hunter Biden and his associates and communicated with them about Chairman Ye and CEFC.'
It goes on to describe that the panel is aware that he attempted on December 6, 2015, when Joe Biden was still vice president, to introduce Chairman Ye Jianming and CEFC to Hunter and his associates.
Oversight is just one of the panels in the House that have vowed with new GOP leadership to extensively probe Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings and whether his father's influence was used to enrich himself and his business partners.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its investment arm are paying $5 million in fines to the SEC
2/21/2023
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its investment arm are paying $5 million in fines to the SEC for creating shell companies to hide their holdings from the public.
“We allege that the LDS Church’s investment manager, with the Church’s knowledge, went to great lengths to avoid disclosing the Church’s investments, depriving the Commission and the investing public of accurate market information,” Gurbir S. Grewal, the agency’s enforcement director, said in a statement.
The church has agreed to pay $1 million and Ensign Peak will pay $4 million in penalties based on the violation.
Federal investigators said for 22 years, the firm hadn’t filed required paperwork to disclose the value of some assets in violation of the Securities Exchange Act and agency rules.
“The Church was concerned that disclosure of its portfolio, which by 2018 grew to approximately $32 billion, would lead to negative consequences,” the agency said in a statement announcing the charges.
“We affirm our commitment to comply with the law, regret mistakes made, and now consider this matter closed,” the Church said.
