Republicans on the House Oversight Committee requested testimony by officials from the Treasury Department last week after the department failed to comply with a document request for part of the committee’s inquiry into the business dealings of President Joe Biden’s family.

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability first requested the documents in a letter (pdf) to the Treasury in January. When the deadline expired, Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) followed with a letter to deputy assistant secretary for oversight Isabella More on Feb. 24 requesting in-person testimony from Treasury officials.
