These criminal referrals just sent the Biden family into total panic
Everyone knows the Bidens have done something wrong. But now they may finally get what they deserve.
And these criminal referrals just sent the Biden family into a total panic.
Chairman of the House Oversight Committee James Comer said Wednesday that his panel will make criminal referrals against members of President Biden’s family as a result of the impeachment investigation into the commander-in-chief.
Comer (R-Ky.) stated on Fox Business Network’s Mornings with Maria that he expected the referrals to be voted on “within weeks.”
“I don’t think there’s ever been in the history of Congress, criminal referrals to an immediate president of the United States and their family,” he said.
“So we wanted to give the Bidens every opportunity. This is a fair and balanced investigation.”
Since September 12 of last year, Comer has led the impeachment investigation by the Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways and Means committees.
Multiple House Republicans have expressed their objection to impeaching President Biden based on the facts they currently have, therefore criminal referrals from the whole House to the Department of Justice against the first family could serve as an exit strategy.
However, Comer insisted that “impeachment is still on the table.”
Earlier last week, Biden publicly declined Comer’s invitation to speak before the panel, emphasizing that the evidence Republicans discovered demonstrated he “has done nothing wrong.”
“I’m not surprised that Joe Biden doesn’t want to come and set the record straight to the American people,” Comer chided.
“He wants to continue to hide behind the liberal mainstream media that are going to continue to run cover and indoctrinate the American people that there’s no evidence.”
Biden’s supporters have accused Comer of partisan politics in his impeachment investigation, but the Oversight chairman said his team followed the rules.
Hunter Biden, the first son, likewise declined an invitation to give public testimony last month after going for a closed-door deposition in February.
“If this Department of Justice won’t do their job and hold people accountable for wrongdoing, then hopefully the next Department of Justice will,” Comer told host Maria Bartiromo, hours before clashing with Oversight Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) during a chaotic hearing on China.
During the China hearing, Comer disagreed with Raskin’s findings.
“I’ll tell you what Joe Biden did. He was a senator of the United States, then he wrote a book and he said he made the most money he ever made in his life, millions of dollars on his book,” Raskin contended.
“Ukraine, Kazakstan, Romania, China, Russia — that’s why they paid the Biden family money,” Comer countered.

“Somebody needs therapy here, but it’s no one on our side of the aisle,” Raskin shot back after a member denied that the president took money from those countries.
