Two top House Republicans said Thursday they would examine whether President Biden “is a security risk and whether he is compromised by foreign governments” in connection with first son Hunter Biden’s “shady” overseas business deals.

Reps. James Comer (R-Ky.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the respective incoming chairmen of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, leveled the accusation as they announced their first order of business will be probing the Biden family.

“Our investigation is about Joe Biden,” Comer said. “Was Joe Biden directly involved with Hunter Biden’s business deals and is he compromised? That’s our investigation.”

“We’re not trying to prove Hunter Biden is a bad actor,” Comer added. “He is.”

The lawmakers went on to claim, citing whistleblowers, that Joe Biden, 79, was directly involved in his son’s foreign interests — despite the commander-in-chief repeatedly insisting he had no knowledge of such activity.

“Joe Biden told the American people he had nothing to do with and never had conversations with his family about their business dealings. That was a lie,” Comer said. “To be clear, Joe Biden is the ‘big guy.'”

Ex-Hunter associates have previously claimed that the “big guy” mentioned in emails about business deals in China that were retrieved from the first son’s infamous abandoned laptop — revealed to the world by The Post in October 2020 — refers to the president.

Comer and Jordan also flashed up a photo of Biden meeting with Hunter associates when he was vice president under Barack Obama.

“Committee Republicans have identified over 50 countries the Biden family sought business in,” Comer said. “On the international side of the Biden family business, the deals were often led by Hunter Biden.”

Comer also said whistleblowers had described Joe Biden as “chairman of the board” of some Hunter-linked businesses and that the president had “personally participated in meetings and phone calls.

“As part of our investigation, we have evidence that the finances, credit cards, and bank accounts of Hunter and Joe Biden were commingled if not shared,” the Kentucky Republican said.

“And on some accounts at least, red flags were raised by banks to the account owner or owners indicating suspicious or illegal activity.”

The probes are set to focus on a slew of possible crimes, including conspiracy to defraud the US, wire fraud, tax evasion and money laundering.

In a statement Thursday evening, the White House Counsel’s Office accused Republicans of launching “politically-motivated attacks chock full of long-debunked conspiracy theories.”

“President Biden is not going to let these political attacks distract him from focusing on Americans’ priorities,” spokesman Ian Sams told The Post, “and we hope congressional Republicans will join us in tackling them instead of wasting time and resources on political revenge.”

Last month, the Washington Post reported that federal agents believe they already have uncovered enough evidence in their long-running investigation of Hunter Biden to charge the 52-year-old with tax crimes as well as lying about his drug history so he could purchase a gun.
