HUNTER BIDEN HEADACHE
Time
|July 24, 2023
House Republicans plan to ramp up their investigation into the President's son after whistle-blower testimony
AFTER THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCED on June 20 that Hunter Biden had reached a plea deal on misdemeanor tax charges, Republicans in Congress made clear they were not done with the President's son. The emergence of an Internal Revenue Service whistle-blower alleging that the younger Biden received special treatment from federal prosecutors lit a fire under House Republicans, who accelerated an investigation that could stretch into 2024.
According to sources familiar with the matter, House GOP leadership intends to wait for Hunter Biden's July arraignment before moving ahead with a multipronged investigatory effort spearheaded by three committees: Judiciary, Oversight, and Ways and Means.
The panels are "pursuing a thorough investigation into this misconduct to deliver the transparency and accountability that the American people demand and deserve," their chairs-Representatives Jim Jordan of Ohio, James Comer of Kentucky, and Jason Smith of Missouri said in a statement.
