George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley on Tuesday broke down how Hunter Biden could face “additional charges” that would not be protected by President Joe Biden’s pardon.
Biden issued a “full and unconditional” pardon for his son on Sunday regarding any crime he is charged with or may have committed from Jan. 1, 2014 to Dec. 1, 2024, including any potential charges regarding an alleged influence peddling scheme during his time on a now-defunct Ukrainian gas company’s board. Turley said on “Fox & Friends” that Hunter could potentially face charges if he is called to testify before Congress about the alleged influence peddling scheme and could be charged with perjury if he makes false statements.
“The president clearly is hoping that he’s given [Hunter] this sweeping protection and that includes unnamed crimes, quite literally, Hunter Biden could have six heads in a duffle bag in his basement and [the pardon] would cover it as long as he committed those murders during this ten-year period. This, by the way, would not protect him from state charges. But it’s a sweeping pardon that we haven’t seen really the likes of since [former] President [Richard] Nixon, it’s pretty unprecedented in that respect,” Turley began.
“The problem is that Hunter could be called before Congress. Congress has committees that are still looking into the influence peddling scandal involving millions and millions of dollars,” Turley continued. “He could be called to testify, last time he did that, the House accused him of being misleading, even false in his testimony. If he commits perjury again, it’s a new crime and this pardon will not have an impact and he could face additional charges.”
House Republicans launched the impeachment inquiry in September 2023 to investigate whether the president participated in an influence peddling scheme related to his son’s overseas business dealings in Ukraine, China and Romania. Biden’s pardon protects his son from any crime committed during his time serving on the board of Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company.
House Republicans on the Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means committees submitted criminal referrals to the Department of Justice in June recommending that Hunter and his uncle, James Biden, be charged with making false statements to Congress about key aspects of the impeachment inquiry into the president. The chairmen said that the alleged false statements appeared to be “a calculated effort to shield” Biden from the investigation.
