Hunter Biden’s plea deal to federal tax and gun charges will have no impact on a House probe into the alleged international bribery schemes of him and his father, President Joe Biden, a key lawmaker cowed Tuesday.
Shortly after news of the no-jail plea deal with the U.S. Attorney for Delaware, House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-KY) made it clear his investigation of the Biden family will continue apace.
“Let’s be clear: the Department of Justice’s charges against President Biden’s son Hunter reveals a two-tiered system of justice,” Comer said. “Hunter Biden is getting away with a slap on the wrist when growing evidence uncovered by the House Oversight Committee reveals the Bidens engaged in a pattern of corruption, influence peddling, and possibly bribery. These charges against Hunter Biden and sweetheart plea deal have no impact on the Oversight Committee’s investigation. We will not rest until the full extent of President Biden’s involvement in the family’s schemes are revealed.”
