The chairmen of three House committees sent criminal referrals to the Justice Department accusing Hunter Biden and the president's younger brother, James Biden, of lying in congressional depositions to hide Mr. Biden's involvement in their lucrative business schemes.
Hunter Biden, left, arrives at federal court with his wife, Melissa Cohen Biden, Wednesday, June 5, 2024, in Wilmington, Del. The chairmen of three House committees sent criminal referrals to the Justice Department accusing Hunter Biden and the president’s younger brother, James Biden, of lying in congressional depositions to hide Mr. Biden’s involvement in their lucrative business schemes.
They called on the Justice Department to additionally examine whether Hunter Biden violated the terms of his federal supervised release by providing false testimony and committing perjury in the congressional inquiry. The GOP’s slim majority and an upcoming election make it unlikely Republicans can muster enough votes to impeach Mr. Biden on corruption charges.
Hunter Biden, the letter said, “relayed an entirely fictitious account” in his congressional testimony about a threatening text message sent in July 2017 that invoked his father, then the ex-vice president. Lawmakers say Hunter Biden lied. Documents and phone records they obtained show “conclusively” that Hunter Biden texted the threat “to the intended individual,” who later wired one of his shell companies $5 million.
