Edward Prewitt, a 20-year veteran of Wells Fargo Advisors and its predecessor, A.G. Edwards, is being pressed for information about Hunter Biden and the Biden family’s foreign business deals by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.

James Comer, R-Ky., the ranking committee member, is calling on Prewitt to provide all documents, communications and information related to suspicious activity reports that were triggered by actions of Hunter Biden, other family members and associates, according to a release by the committee.

Prewitt, a former Clinton Administration political appointee, advised Hunter Biden on financial transactions when U.S. banks were flagging suspicious activity by the Biden family.
