House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has requested that the Justice Department postpone any potential Hunter Biden prosecution until Republicans hold a news conference on May 10.

The lawmaker’s plea came during a May 7 appearance on the Fox News program “Sunday Morning Futures,” where he cited forthcoming evidence about the Biden family’s financial transactions, saying officials shouldn’t prosecute until they hear from congressional leaders.
