The House Oversight Committee Chairman, James Comer (R- Kentucky), has warned that President Joe Biden is soon going to face “accountability” for his alleged crimes. In a recent appearance on Fox News, he mentioned a report outlining “many crimes” committed by the President will be released soon. These could include money laundering and bribery, as well as influence peddling, something Hunter Biden, Joe’s son, is also involved in.
Comer told Maria Bartiromo from Sunday Morning Futures that a formal recommendation for prosecuting Joe Biden could be expected by the Republicans. He stated that criminal referrals already issued for members of the Biden family are just the “beginning” of their accountability.
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 said. But the next step will be accountability for Joe Biden.
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.
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.
In an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters, Comer suggested that Hunter was taking the fall to protect his father and added that justice won’t be served until they address the more serious crimes the family has committed. Joe Biden managed to avoid criminal charges for his alleged mishandling of classified information during his time as vice president and senator in February.
