Just after Trump acquittal, Republican senators requested Hunter Biden's travel records

WASHINGTON — Two Republican senators have said they are continuing to look into "potential conflicts of interest" with Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine and China, shortly after President Donald Trump was acquitted by the Senate on articles of impeachment for his own conduct in Ukraine.

Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., sent a letter to Secret Service Director James Murray on Wednesday asking for clarification on "whether Hunter Biden used government-sponsored travel to help conduct private business" and details of his travel records.

In defending Trump from accusations that he improperly pressured Ukraine to open investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Republicans have sought to shift the focus onto their claim that Biden conducted foreign policy in order to benefit his son's business interests in Ukraine, for which there is no evidence.
