Republicans heading up the House impeachment inquiry into President Biden’s alleged corruption asked the Justice Department Wednesday to bring charges against first son Hunter Biden and first brother James Biden for allegedly lying to Congress.
James, 75, and Hunter, 54, repeatedly involved their powerful relative in foreign business relationships, including in countries where he held sway during his eight-year vice presidency — and Republican committee leaders say the lies were meant to derail leads that pointed back to the president.
“Hunter Biden and James Biden made provably false statements to the Oversight Committee and the Judiciary Committee about key aspects of the impeachment inquiry, in what appears to be a conscious effort to hinder the investigation’s focus on President Joe Biden,” the Republicans wrote.
“The nature of these false statements is not lost on the Committees: every instance implicates Joe Biden’s knowledge of and role in his family’s influence peddling.”
James Biden allegedly lied by denying that his brother attended a group meeting with family business associate Tony Bobulinski, who partnered with Hunter and James in a multimillion-dollar venture with Chinese state-linked CEFC China Energy.
Bobulinksi says, and evidence proves, that he met Joe Biden in May 2017 — within days of another family associate, James Gilliar, penciling in a 10% cut for the “big guy” — the Republicans wrote.
James would send $40,000 of CEFC funds to brother Joe months later as an alleged loan repayment.
