Congressional Republicans are sounding off after Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to nine federal tax-related charges.
Congressional Republicans are claiming vindication after Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to nine federal tax-related charges on Thursday — and warning President Biden not to pardon his son.
Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, told Fox News Digital that he believes the plea « absolutely » affirms the accusations and findings GOP lawmakers have levied against the first family since before President Biden took office.
« It’s also vindication for the whistleblowers », he added, accusing Hunter’s defenders of trying to « wreck their careers. »
Davidson said of Biden potentially pardoning his son, « I think it would be an abuse of that power for the president to do that, but I think a lot of people will be surprised if Joe Biden doesn’t. »
The White House has said multiple times that the president will not pardon his son, but that has not stopped Republican-led skepticism from pouring in.
It comes after a bombshell House GOP report, which the White House has pushed back on, that accused the president of committing « impeachable offenses » by allegedly helping enrich himself and his family through foreign deals.
Meanwhile, House Ways & Means Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo.
