In fact, McCarthy believes that the plea deal might even strengthen the GOP&#8217;s efforts.<\/p>\n<h3>Investigation Continues Unabated<\/h3>\n<p>McCarthy emphasized that the House Oversight Committee&#8217;s inquiry would not be swayed by the &#8220;sweetheart deal&#8221; Hunter Biden received from the Department of Justice. On the contrary, he suggested that this development could provide an opportunity to gather more information for the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>The Oversight Committee is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-plea-mccarthy-says-deal-may-enhance-house-investigations\/\" title=\"McCarthy suggests Hunter Biden's plea could bolster House investigations.\">examining unverified information obtained<\/a> from a paid FBI informant through an FBI-generated FD-1023 tip sheet. This document alleges that both Hunter Biden and President Joe Biden accepted $5 million bribes from an executive at Burisma, the Ukrainian energy giant where Hunter served on the board.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This plea deal does not impact our investigation,&#8221; McCarthy stated. &#8220;In fact, it should enhance our efforts, as the DOJ should now be able to provide Chairman Comer with any information he requires, without citing a pending investigation as an excuse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who is leading the Hunter Biden investigation, has stated that the inquiry is still ongoing. This may pose challenges for Chairman Comer in obtaining the requested information.<\/p>\n<h3>DOJ&#8217;s Alleged Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>When questioned about the DOJ&#8217;s assertion that the investigation is ongoing, McCarthy dismissed it as a ploy to withhold information from the House of Representatives under the guise of an ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How can Hunter Biden plead guilty, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-l-a-d-a-s-husband-who-pulled-a-gun-on-a-blm-leader-requests-diversion-to-avoid-jail\/\" title=\"Former L.A. D.A.\u2019s Husband Who Pulled A Gun On A BLM Leader Requests Diversion To Avoid Jail\">avoid jail time<\/a>, and yet the DOJ claims there&#8217;s still an investigation, using it as an excuse to deny the U.S. House of Representatives access to documents? This is unacceptable and will not be tolerated,&#8221; McCarthy declared. &#8220;You cannot plead guilty, evade jail time, and then refuse to provide documents to the House. That will not be allowed. That will not work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Committee Vows to Press On<\/h3>\n<p>Earlier on Tuesday, Chairman Comer reaffirmed his committee&#8217;s commitment to investigating the alleged bribery scheme involving Biden and his son.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy also criticized what he perceives as a two-tiered justice system, where former President Donald Trump faces potential jail time for keeping classified documents in his home, while Hunter Biden escapes without any prison sentence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The question here is about equal justice,&#8221; McCarthy pondered. &#8220;One of the leading opponents of the current president is now indicted and expected to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-revokes-derek-chauvins-bail-sets-sentencing-hearing-for-eight-weeks\/\" title=\"Judge Revokes Derek Chauvin\u2019s Bail, Sets Sentencing Hearing For Eight Weeks\">serve jail time<\/a>, while the president&#8217;s son, whose investigation lasted a significant period, gets off scot-free.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) believes that Hunter Biden&#8217;s guilty plea to three federal charges will not impact the House&#8217;s investigation into an alleged bribery scheme involving Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden, and a Ukrainian energy executive.
