EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW: House GOP Leaders Send DOJ Criminal Referrals

The House Republicans are asking the Biden administration to back up their tough talk on the integrity of the justice system by sending criminal referrals for two Biden family members to the Department of Justice.

House GOP leaders have asked for the DOJ to criminally investigate and bring charges against Hunter Biden and James Biden for making false statements to Congress regarding “key aspects” when they were interviewed during impeachment inquires into President Joe Biden.

The GOP Committee leaders issued a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Special Counsel David Weiss whereby false statements “implicate Joe Biden’s knowledge and role in his family’s influence peddling schemes and appear to be a calculated effort to shield Joe Biden from the impeachment inquiry.”

The letter sent includes more than 60 pages of examples of James Biden and Hunter Biden breaking the law in order to protect President Joe Biden “The Big Guy.”

“Lying to Congress is a serious crime with serious consequences. Both Hunter and James Biden did just that. They lied to cover up President Biden’s involvement in their family’s international influence-peddling schemes that have generated millions of dollars,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH).

“These criminal referrals are a reflection of criminal wrongdoing by the Biden family, and the Department of Justice must take steps to hold the Biden’s accountable,” Jordan said.

“Our investigation has revealed President Biden knew about, participated in, and benefitted from his family cashing in on the Biden name around the world. Despite this record of evidence, President Biden continues to lie to the American people about his involvement in these influence-peddling schemes. It appears making false statements runs in the Biden family,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said in a recent statement.

“We’ve caught President Biden’s son and brother making blatant lies to Congress in what appears to be a concerted effort to hide Joe Biden’s involvement in his family’s schemes. As part of our efforts to hold the Bidens accountable for profiting off public office, we are today referring Hunter and James Biden to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution for making false statements to Congress. This is not the end of our efforts to hold the Bidens accountable; it’s only the beginning,” Comer said, demanding equal justice under the law.

“President Biden claims no one is above the law. We will soon see his Department of Justice put that principle to the test. Congress cannot allow anyone, not even the president’s son or his brother, to stand in the way of its oversight of the executive branch or deny the American people the accountability they deserve,” said House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO).
