House panel demands docs from Hunter Biden art buyer Elizabeth Naftali

The House Oversight Committee is demanding documents from a high-powered Democratic donor who purchased artwork by Hunter Biden.

Elizabeth Hirsch Naftali, a Los Angeles-based real estate investor, and philanthropist, was named as one of the buyers by Business Insider earlier this week.

Naftali raised further eyebrows after news emerged she visited the White House at least a dozen times.

President Biden additionally appointed Naftali to his Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad in July 2022 — roughly eight months after Hunter’s first art show in Hollywood.

“These facts raise the Committee’s concerns, and the Committee seeks documents and information regarding your purchase of Hunter Biden art,” the committee wrote to Naftali in a letter Saturday. “Your position on the Commission is particularly suspicious because of Hunter Biden’s previous actions to elevate his business partner — Eric Schwerin — to the same post while his father was Vice President.”

The GOP-led committee has been probing the Biden family’s business activities and specifically, whether President Biden has benefited from his son’s overseas wheeling and dealing.

In their letter, the committee demanded:

• All documents and communications among … [art dealer] Georges Bergés, the Georges Bergés Gallery, or any employee or agent thereof.
• All documents and communications between you and any federal employee regarding the purchase of Hunter Biden’s art. 
• All documents and communications between you and any federal employee regarding your appointment to the Commission.
• All documents and communications regarding your visits to the White House since December 2021.

The committee gave a deadline of Aug. 11 to comply.

Should Naftali defy the committee, she could be subpoenaed and compelled to hand over documents.

The committee also sent a similar missive Saturday to White House Counsel Stuart Delery.
