Johnson made a misguided statement, claiming that Durham &#8220;couldn&#8217;t even indict Hunter Biden.&#8221; However, it&#8217;s important to note that the Durham probe had nothing to do with Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t investigate Mr. Hunter Biden,&#8221; Durham responded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite Durham&#8217;s clear response, Johnson ignored it and continued with his questioning. He went on to list several individuals whom Durham didn&#8217;t indict, including Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden. Johnson&#8217;s line of questioning seemed to stem from a misunderstanding of the scope and purpose of the investigation.<\/p>\n<h3>Durham&#8217;s Probe and Findings<\/h3>\n<p>John Durham&#8217;s probe focused on the FBI and the Justice Department&#8217;s investigation of former president Donald Trump. The investigation concluded that the FBI&#8217;s basis for looking into the conspiracy theory of Trump colluding with Russia was &#8220;seriously flawed.&#8221; This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-john-durham-schools-democratic-congressman-on-special-counsel-investigation\/\" title=\"VIDEO: John Durham Educates Dem Congressman on Special Counsel Probe\">finding sheds light<\/a> on the flaws within the initial investigation.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that the FBI&#8217;s investigation, led by former special counsel Robert Mueller, ultimately found no evidence of Trump&#8217;s campaign colluding with Russia.<\/p>\n<h3>Hunter Biden&#8217;s Legal Situation<\/h3>\n<p>Separate from the Durham probe, Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, recently agreed to plead guilty to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-lawyer-calls-irs-whistleblower-a-criminal\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Lawyer Calls IRS Whistleblower a Criminal\">misdemeanor tax charges<\/a> and entered into a plea deal to avoid a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/calls-echo-a-need-for-tougher-crime-policies\/\" title=\"Calls echo a need for tougher crime policies\">felony firearms charge<\/a>. Republicans have criticized the charges, considering them a lenient punishment for the president&#8217;s son.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this development, House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) has assured that the charges will not impact his ongoing probe into Hunter Biden&#8217;s financial dealings.<\/p>\n<h3>Controversial Remarks by Congressman Johnson<\/h3>\n<p>Hank Johnson, a nine-term congressman, has a history of making controversial remarks. In the past, he suggested that U.S. troop deployments could cause the island of Guam to tip over and made an anti-Semitic comparison between Israeli settlers and termites. He has also faced criticism for his comments on World War II-era Japanese internment policies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic congressman Hank Johnson (Ga.) wrongly criticized former special counsel John Durham&#8217;s probe, claiming that Durham failed to indict Hunter Biden.
