A group of House Republicans sent a letter Monday calling on President Joe Biden’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) nominee David Chipman to investigate Hunter Biden, if confirmed, for reportedly falsifying information during a background check in order to illegally obtain a gun.
The letter to Chipman, first obtained by the Daily Caller, was written by Republican Virginia Rep. Bob Good and signed by over twenty House Republicans. In the letter, Good asks Chipman to publicly commit to investigating Hunter Biden, referencing a Politico report that said Biden answered “no” to the question about drug use on the Firearms Transaction Record for a gun in October of 2018.
