Hunter and his wife Melissa Cohen, a South African filmmaker, spent the weekend with Joe and Jill Biden at Camp David.

In a July 1 op-ed for The New York Post, McCarthy and Reps. Jim Jordan and James Comer wrote that Congressional Republicans' investigation 'have found Biden family members used their connections with Joe to enrich themselves through expectations of access and promises about what a Biden administration might do.' They wrote: 'A Republican majority will be committed to uncovering the facts the Democrats, Big Tech and the legacy media have suppressed.' Hunter Biden has long been a top target of Congressional Republicans due to his business dealings in Ukraine and China, while his father was serving as vice president. DailyMail.com revealed last month that Joe Biden spoke with Hunter about his business dealings with a Chinese criminal that Hunter dubbed the 'spy chief of China'. Joe called Hunter on December 12, 2018 saying that he wanted to talk to him after reading a New York Times story about Hunter's dealings with the Chinese oil giant CEFC.

He said the voicemail raised worrying questions about Joe's knowledge of Hunter's businesses. 'Evidence continues to mount that Joe Biden is the 'Big Guy' and received a cut from his family's suspicious foreign business deals,' Comer said in a statement to DailyMail.com. 'We've uncovered evidence revealing the comingling of Hunter and Joe Biden's finances - and the voicemail unearthed recently is just further proof Joe Biden knew about his son's wheeling and dealing with foreign adversaries. 'We will continue to investigate the Biden family's shady business deals as more facts emerge. 'If Americans entrust Republicans with the majority, we will use the power of the gavel to get answers about the Biden family's pattern of placing profit over country to determine if President Biden is compromised by these deals.' The president has repeatedly denied personally and through his press secretary that he ever talked about Hunter's foreign business with his Hunter – despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Joe Biden called Hunter in December 2018 saying he wanted to talk to him about a New York Times story on Hunter's dealings with the Chinese oil giant CEFC Republican Rep. James Comer has said the voicemail DailyMail.com revealed last month is 'further proof' the president knew about his son's foreign business dealings Files on Hunter's abandoned laptop previously disclosed by DailyMail.com show that he struck a deal with the Chinese company worth millions of dollars after touting his family connections. The New York Times in a 2018 story pointed out CEFC's chairman Ye Jianming had been arrested in China and his top lieutenant Patrick Ho had been convicted in the US for bribing African officials to help Iran evade oil sanctions. After seeing the story online, Joe called Hunter and left a voicemail. 'Hey pal, it's Dad. It's 8:15 on Wednesday night. If you get a chance just give me a call. Nothing urgent. I just wanted to talk to you,' he said. 'I thought the article released online, it's going to be printed tomorrow in the Times, was good. I think you're clear. And anyway if you get a chance give me a call, I love you.' The message flies in the face of the president's repeated denials that he ever discussed Hunter's overseas business dealings with his son. Joe Biden continues to passionately defend his son, and include him in all official family gatherings and public events. The president left Washington DC on Friday to spend a weekend with his family at Camp David, after recent trips to Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. On Monday morning to mark the Fourth, the president urged Americans to celebrate the 'goodness' of the nation. 'The Fourth of July is a sacred day in our country – it's a time to celebrate the goodness of our nation, the only nation on Earth founded based on an idea: that all people are created equal,' the president wrote. 'Make no mistake, our best days still lie ahead,' he added. Biden's tweet came as many travelers faced frustrating delays and flight cancelations through the holiday weekend, chaos being dubbed 'Airmageddon.' Inflation has also made traveling by car and hosting a barbecue more expensive. The president has paid for inflation in public opinion polls, with his Real Clear Politics polling average sitting at 38.4 per cent approval. Biden was also returning to the White House amid reports of another mass shooting - with at least six killed in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park at a Fourth of July parade.
