The Republicans said their inquiry is far from over as they explore new ways to ‘hold the Bidens accountable for profiting off public office.’
The Republicans investigating the impeachability of President Joe Biden for his role in his family’s international influence-peddling scheme recommended on Wednesday that the Department of Justice charge the Democrat’s youngest son and brother with making false statements to Congress in what appears to be “a calculated effort to shield” the president from formal scrutiny.
There is a boatload of evidence, including bank receipts, White House visitor logs, and testimonies from Biden business partners, confirming Joe and other members of the Biden family profited millions off of selling their patriarch’s name and position to foreign companies and oligarchs.
The criminal referrals, sent by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, recommended Attorney General Merrick Garland and Special Counsel David Weiss charge both Hunter and James Biden for lying about that evidence during depositions held in the lower chamber earlier this year. The committees also suggested perjury charges for Hunter and warned the DOJ’s refusal to act on these recommendations reeks of partisanship.
“Lying to Congress to impede an ongoing congressional investigation is a serious crime. If the Department of Justice fails to act on our criminal referral and hold Hunter Biden accountable, they will once again be telling the American people there are two tiers of justice in this country. One for the wealthy and politically connected, and one for everyone else,” Smith said in a statement.Hunter’s Lies
During his February 28, 2024, sitdown, Hunter “falsely distanced himself” under oath from the Rosemont Seneca Bohai company and bank accounts into which foreign entities transferred millions of dollars that benefited the Bidens.
