House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has suggested that a criminal referral for President Joe Biden could be forthcoming, following the referrals sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday for Biden’s son Hunter and brother Jim. In an appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Comer discussed the ongoing investigations into the Biden family’s alleged corruption and influence peddling.
When asked by host Maria Bartiromo about potential criminal referrals for FARA violations, money laundering, corruption, and influence peddling, Comer responded, “We’re just beginning, Maria, and a lot of those crimes that the Bidens have committed, the statute of limitations has run out.” However, he emphasized that the investigation is ultimately about Joe Biden, with Hunter Biden, Jim Biden, Eric Sherwin, and Devon Archer serving as witnesses.
Comer stated that the criminal referrals sent to the Department of Justice are within the statute of limitations, adding that if Merrick Garland’s DOJ fails to take appropriate action, the next administration and a new attorney general can pursue the matter. He also mentioned a 60-page report that accompanied the criminal referrals, which he claimed contained hard evidence that has not been disputed.
When asked if a criminal referral against Joe Biden for money laundering could be expected, Comer responded, “I think that it’s no secret Joe Biden’s committed many crimes.” He hinted at an imminent interim report that will update the public on the crimes allegedly committed by Biden and his administration throughout the investigation and during the Obama-Biden administration.
