Newly elected House GOP member George Santos says Hunter Biden probe shouldn’t be a ‘priority’
Rep.-elect George Santos (R-NY) argued on Monday that lawmakers should avoid focusing on “hyperpartisan” investigations, including a potential probe into Hunter Biden’s business dealings, for at least the first six months of the new Congress.
Santos told Fox News’s Sandra Smith on Monday that he wants no part of divisive investigations into the president’s son, the origins of COVID-19, Big Tech censorship, the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago, the Justice Department’s memo on outspoken parents at school board meetings, or the crisis at the southern border.
Instead, Santos said that he wants to focus on issues such as energy independence and crime.
“If parts of our party want to go into these investigations, that’s their prerogative,” Santos said. “I don’t want to waste my time in Washington engaging in hyperpartisan issues. I want to come here to deliver results.”
“We can be part of investigations so long as it doesn’t clutter and sway us from the goal, which is making Americans’ lives better or not worse,” Santos added.
When asked by Smith to clarify whether he believes the investigations proposed by GOP lawmakers are a waste of time, Santos said that they aren’t so long as they don’t become the party’s priority.
“I think that for at least the first 6 months, we should work on making this county energy independent, we should work on reducing crime across metropolitan areas, such as New York City, and then we can start talking about investigations,” Santos said.
GOP lawmakers such as Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, and Rep. James Cormer (R-KY), the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, have teased numerous investigations into the Biden administration should Republicans take control of the House, including probes into President Biden’s son Hunter’s alleged business dealings with companies tied to the Chinese Communist Party and the alleged politicization of the FBI and Justice Department under Biden.
The GOP is expected to take control of the lower chamber with a narrow majority.
Santos, the first openly gay Republican elected to the House, defeated Democrat Robert Zimmerman in New York’s 3rd Congressional District race last week, flipping a blue district that Biden won in 2020.
