EXCLUSIVE: House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is calling for President-elect Trump’s Justice Department to investigate and prosecute President Biden’s brother. James Bidenfor allegedly making false statements to Congress, Fox News Digital has learned.
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained a letter that Comer, R-Ky., sent to Trump’s attorney general nominee Pam Bondi, encouraging the DOJ to “hold James Biden accountable for lying to Congress to protect his brother, the future future”. – former President Biden.”

Specifically, Comer said at the time that the alleged false statements implicated “President Biden’s knowledge of and role in his family’s influence peddling schemes” and that they appeared to be “a calculated effort to shield Joe Biden from the investigation of impeachment”.
Comer, along with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., led the impeachment inquiry into President Biden and they found that he engaged in “questionable conduct,” “abused his offices” and “defrauded the United States to enrich his family.”
FLASHBACK: TEXT MESSAGES FROM HUNTER BIDEN’S BUSINESS ASSOCIATE INDICATE MEETING WITH JOE BIDEN
Comer, in his letter to Bondi this week, noted Biden’s “full and unconditional forgiveness” for his son, Hunter Biden.
“President Biden’s latest plan to cover up his family’s problem cements his legacy as the leader of the most corrupt political family to rise to the presidency in American history,” Comer wrote in Bondi. “But it also seems incomplete. President Biden has shown the American people that their son is beyond accountability in a court of law for his crimes.”
But Comer said he wanted to “recall the incoming leadership of the Justice Department of Hunter Biden’s main accomplice in his influence-peddling schemes (aside from Joe Biden himself), whom the Oversight, Judiciary and and Media previously identified Attorney General Merrick Garland as having lied to Congress about his family’s involvement in influence peddling and deserving prosecution under federal law: James Biden, the president’s younger brother.”

Comer reminded Bondi that he and House Republicans referred James Biden to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution, saying the president’s brother “made materially false statements to the Oversight and Judiciary Committees.”
“The nature of his and Hunter Biden’s false statements is not lost on the Committees: each instance implicates Joe Biden’s knowledge of and role in his family’s influence peddling,” Comer wrote. “James Biden’s denial of Joe Biden’s meeting with James Biden, Hunter Biden and Hunter Biden’s business partner for a Chinese transaction, Tony Bobulinski, despite being presented with evidence and offered multiple opportunities to modify his response, appears to be a clumsy attempt to shield Joe Biden from the reality that Joe Biden has met with his family’s business associates.”

Comer and House Republicans in June said that James Biden “stated unequivocally during his transcribed interview that Joe Biden did not meet with Mr. Tony Bobulinski, business partner of James and Hunter Biden, in 2017 while seeking a deal with an entity Chinese, CEFC China. Energy”.
“Specifically, James Biden testified that he did not attend a meeting with Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and Tony Bobulinski on May 2, 2017 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel,” Comer, Jordan and Smith said in their criminal reference to the attorney general. Merrick Garland. year “These statements were contradicted not only by Mr. Bobulinski, but also by Hunter Biden.”
They also noted that Bobulinski “produced text messages that set out the events leading up to and immediately following his meeting with Joe Biden on May 2, 2017.”
In his letter to Bondi, Comer criticized President Biden, alleging that he obstructed the committee’s impeachment inquiry and that in itself was “objectionable conduct.”
SPECIAL COUNSEL WEISS BLASTS BIDEN IN HUNTER PROSECUTION FINAL REPORT
“President Biden’s legacy is that he led the most dishonest and corrupt administration in American history,” Comer wrote.
Biden, last month, made the decision to grant his son a “full and unconditional pardon” covering nearly 11 years of conduct, including conduct related to both convictions that special counsel David Weiss obtained.

Hunter Biden was found guilty of three firearms offenses stemming from the Weiss investigation. The first son was also charged with federal tax crimes for failing to pay at least $1.4 million in taxes. Before his trial, Hunter Biden entered a surprise guilty plea.
Weiss released her long-awaited report on her years-long investigation into Hunter Biden last week, criticizing Biden for “unfairly” defaming public officials at the Department of Justice and casting doubt on the American justice system with claims “wrong” that their research was political.
“President Biden repeatedly told — or used White House staff to tell — the American people that he would not pardon their son. That was a lie,” Comer wrote to Bondi. “President Biden continues to lie, now falsely claiming, ‘No reasonable person looking at the facts of the Hunter cases can come to any other conclusion that Hunter was singled out only because he’s my son, and that’s wrong.’

Comer added: “While President Biden’s saccharine (and totally tongue-in-cheek) rants about the political persecution and armed prosecution of Hunter Biden are misleading, they are inapplicable to the non-prosecution of his brother, James Biden, who has lied in the United States Congress and has had no accountability so far.”
“I am writing to encourage the Department under your leadership to hold James Biden accountable for lying to Congress to protect his brother, the future President Biden,” Comer continued. “No one should be above the law, regardless of their last name.”
