                          BIDEN INVESTIGATION

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, I want to remind people of how Senator 
Johnson and I have been attacked over the months of 2020 for some 
investigation we have been doing, and I want to speak to that now.
  For over a year, Senator Johnson and I investigated the Biden 
financial family dealings. We found that they engaged in potential 
criminal financial deals across the globe, including China, which 
created counterintelligence concerns.
  We showed our work, and we made our findings very public, but the 
liberal media and members of the other political party chose to dismiss 
our work. They even falsely claimed that our work was Russian 
disinformation. I think they did this in order to protect leaders of 
the other party. Those same liberal outlets that disparaged our 
investigation now report that Hunter Biden's financial deals in China 
raised counterintelligence concerns.
  Yesterday, the Biden transition team confirmed that Hunter Biden is 
under criminal investigation for his taxes and financial dealings.
  So you can understand why I think it is very outrageous that the 
Fourth Estate would choose to ignore facts when they are uncovered by 
Republicans.
  Senator Johnson and I don't do oversight work just for the fun of it. 
Oversight work is serious business. It shouldn't take subpoenas and 
confirmation from Hunter Biden himself to get the rest of the press to 
pay attention.
  I yield the floor.
