Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg caused a political shockwave this week after it was reported that he had convinced a grand jury to indict former President Donald Trump.
However, one prominent Republican wants to know if Bragg has any plans to investigate a member of the Biden family.
According to Breitbart, House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan posted a tweet on Friday which pointed to controversial art sales by Hunter Biden.

Breitbart reported at the end of January that Biden is apparently enjoying a lucrative new career in the art field despite having little experience and no formal training.
This included his earning $375,000 in 2021 from the sale of five paintings, giving him an income five times that of the average professional artist.
The website noted that it is unclear how much money Biden made in 2022 while the identity of his customers also remains unknown.
Jordan is not alone in expressing curiosity over how Biden's art sales, as House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer is asking questions as well.
Comer told Fox News host Sean Hannity that his committee is investigating whether the president's son is receiving money from hostile foreign actors.

"That's why we've asked the art gallery owner in New York where he's been doing business to come to the Oversight Committee and sit down for a transcribed interview," Comer said.
"We believe this is very important knowledge that we need in our influence peddling investigation," the Kentucky Republican continued.
"We're just trying to trace the money, Sean. And we know that money was coming from adversaries in Russia, Ukraine, and China into various accounts that were funding money for Hunter in a consulting capacity," he insisted.
"We don't know what he was consulting. We believe that they were not paying him this money just out of the kindness of their heart. We believe that they were getting something in return," Comer added.
