On his way out the door of the White House, former President Joe Biden pardoned five members of his family not named “Hunter.”
All five – brother James and his wife, Sara; sister Valerie and her husband, John; and brother Frank – were implicated in various influence-peddling schemes just like the previously pardoned Hunter. It was Joe Biden’s last act of loyalty… to his family co-conspirators.
One very disappointed man joined The Drill Down podcast this week – Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the House government oversight committee, which last year gathered all sorts of evidence linking the Biden family to the influence-peddling scheme that got Hunter Biden prosecuted for tax evasion, among other crimes. He just published a best-selling book, All the President’s Money, detailing all of what his committee learned from testimony, subpoenaed bank records, and the previous work of Peter Schweizer and the Government Accountability Institute in the books Secret Empires and Profiles in Corruption. Does Comer think there is anything that can still be done?
“The ball’s in [incoming Attorney General] Pam Bondi’s court,” Comer says, before posing the question: “Is the Trump administration committed to holding them accountable?”
“The Department of Justice could nail the Bidens for violation of Foreign Agents Registration Act,” Comer tells the hosts. “They could nail the Bidens for money laundering. They could nail the Bidens for tax evasion. IRS whistleblowers [who testified to his committee] said they didn’t pay any taxes on tens of millions of dollars that we found they took from these foreign countries. The banks said they were money laundering. Everybody that knows anything knows they were violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act,” Comer says.
