House Republicans file criminal referrals to Justice Department for Hunter, James Biden
The action comes after both Biden’s were accused by the impeachment inquiry committees of lying during their testimonies.
House Republicans have referred Hunter and James Biden to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution, accusing the pair of making false statements to Congress during the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
The criminal referrals was filed Monday and come nearly seven months after House Republicans first authorized the impeachment inquiry into the 46th president.
Since then, the three committees leading the probe have uncovered what they term an influence peddling scheme surrounding Joe Biden by his family members, which led to millions flowing into Hunter and James Biden’s coffers from business deals abroad connected to allegedly corrupt oligarchs and individuals with relationships to the Chinese Communist Party.
Hunter is Joe Biden's son and Jim is the president's brother.
“Our investigation has revealed President Biden knew about, participated in, and benefitted from his family cashing in on the Biden name around the world," says GOP Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, who is helping leading the criminal referral process.
