Three committees collaborate for answers on Hunter Biden probe.
The Chairmen of the House Judiciary, Oversight, and Ways and Means Committees are Committed to Investigating Misconduct at the Justice Department and IRS
The chairmen of the House Judiciary, Oversight, and Ways and Means committees have issued a joint statement expressing their unwavering commitment to pursuing an investigation into misconduct at the Justice Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) surrounding the Hunter Biden investigation.
Chairmen Jim Jordan (R-OH), James Comer (R-KY), and Jason Smith (R-MO) have announced that their committees will work together to conduct an inquiry into the alleged interference of the Justice Department in the criminal investigation involving Hunter Biden.
Whistleblower Testimony and Allegations of Bribery
This decision comes after the Ways and Means Committee heard testimony from two IRS whistleblowers, who claimed that the Department of Justice obstructed lead U.S. attorney David Weiss from bringing charges in the district of his choice in the Hunter Biden investigation. They also alleged that information regarding foreign bribery allegations was concealed from investigators.
Furthermore, members of the House Oversight Committee have reviewed an unverified FBI-generated FD-1023 document, which alleges that Hunter Biden and then-Vice President Joe Biden each received million bribes from the head of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. The alleged purpose of these bribes was to pressure the Ukrainian government into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company. It is important to note that Hunter Biden was serving on the board of Burisma at the time.
Hunter Biden’s Plea Deal and Republican Outrage
The Department of Justice has announced that Hunter Biden intends to plead guilty to three federal charges, including two misdemeanors and one felony. However, it is expected that he will avoid serving jail time.
Republicans are infuriated by this plea deal, as they believe it demonstrates the weaponization of the DOJ against members of their party while granting preferential treatment to Democrats.
Call for Transparency and Accountability
The chairmen have strongly criticized the interference in the investigation and Hunter Biden’s plea deal, describing it as a “mockery of the core American value of equal Justice under the law.” They argue that the Department of Justice refused to follow evidence implicating Joe Biden, alerted Hunter Biden’s attorneys, allowed certain charges to expire, and ultimately facilitated a favorable plea deal for Hunter Biden.
They emphasize the need for rigorous oversight and accountability, stating that the American people demand and deserve transparency in this matter. The chairmen assert that their committees are dedicated to conducting a thorough investigation into this misconduct and holding those responsible accountable.

“This weaponization of the federal law-enforcement power to benefit the Bidens adds to Americans’ growing mistrust in our institutions,” their statement reads. “If we are to remain a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, Congress has a duty to conduct rigorous oversight of this abuse of power and hold bad actors accountable.”
“Our committees are pursuing a thorough investigation into this misconduct to deliver the transparency and accountability that the American people demand and deserve,” they concluded.
