Rep. Comer: Report on Joe Biden’s “many crimes” is “imminent”

Hunter Biden may not be the only member of the Biden family facing punishment for his crimes as House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R- Kentucky) warns that President Joe Biden is soon going to face “accountability.”

The Republican Representative recently told Fox News that a report outlining “many crimes” committed by Biden will be released soon. There are a number of questionable activities this could include, from money laundering and bribery to influence peddling, something that Hunter is also involved in.

In a recent appearance on Sunday Morning Futures, host Maria Bartiromo asked Comer if we should expect a formal recommendation to be handed down by Republicans for prosecuting Biden for crimes such as unregistered foreign lobbying and money laundering.

He replied that the criminal referrals that have already been issued for Biden’s brother and son are only the “beginning” of a full reckoning for the family.

“We’re going to do everything we can to hold Hunter Biden and all the different shady associates accountable; this is just the beginning,” he told Bartiromo.

“But the next step will be accountability for Joe Biden.”

He added that Biden continues to be investigated for possible impeachment and was the “central figure” in his family’s influence peddling activities that brought them tens of millions of dollars in profit. Both Hunter and his uncle James, the president’s brother, earned millions of dollars from entities linked to the Chinese government from relationships that started while Joe was vice president and then tried to obscure the flow of Chinese money by passing it through various companies they owned.

“All of this happened because Joe Biden was the central figure in selling ‘the brand’ and convincing the shady characters around the globe that his family was essentially speaking for him and go ahead and wire that money to those shell accounts,” he asserted.

Comer, who has been actively pursuing an impeachment case against Biden, expressed a similar sentiment in a statement he made following the verdict: “Today’s verdict is a step toward accountability but until the Department of Justice investigates everyone involved in the Bidens’ corrupt influence peddling schemes that generated over $18 million in foreign payments to the Biden family, it will be clear department officials continue to cover for the Big Guy, Joe Biden.”

Republican lawmakers calling for Biden family to be held accountable for crimes

Several Republican leaders took advantage of Hunter’s recent conviction in Delaware for lying about being addicted to drugs so he could buy a gun to call for his father to be held accountable for his own crimes. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) posted on X: “Now it’s time for DOJ to investigate the millions of dollars in payouts from foreign countries looking to curry favor with his father. We will continue to demand accountability for the corrupt business dealings of the Biden family.”

Speaking about the trial with Fox News host Jesse Watters, Comer suggested Hunter was taking the fall in order to save his father, adding that justice won’t be served until they address the more serious crimes the family has committed. In fact, he said he doesn’t consider lying on a gun application to rank among Hunter’s top ten crimes.

In February, Joe Biden managed to avoid criminal charges for his alleged mishandling of classified information during his time as vice president and senator. Special counsel Robert Hur wrote in a report at the time that there was evidence Biden “willfully” mishandled the records but came across as an “elderly man with a poor memory” who might be forgiven by a jury.
