the House Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways & Means Committees formally sent criminal referrals to the Department of Justice, urging federal charges against Hunter Biden and James Biden, the son and brother of Joe Biden. The referrals stem from false statements they made to Congress during the House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry.
In a letter addressed to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Special Counsel David Weiss, the committees cited a transcribed interview with James Biden on February 21 and a deposition with Hunter Biden on February 28 as the basis for their formal request.
“As the attached referral shows, 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,” House Oversight Chairmen James Comer (R-Ky.), House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), and House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) wrote in the letter.
Specifically, Hunter Biden falsely distanced himself from a corporate entity—Rosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC—and its bank account (Rosemont Seneca Bohai Bank Account) that was the recipient of millions of dollars from foreign individuals and foreign entities who met with then-Vice President Biden before and after transmitting money to the Rosemont Seneca Bohai Bank Account that then transferred funds to Hunter Biden.
