'Only The Beginning': House Cmte. Chairs Send Criminal Referrals to DOJ for Hunter, James Biden

House Oversight Chair James Comer says it’s “just the beginning.”

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) have sent criminal referrals to the DOJ for James and Hunter Biden.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Rep. Comer said Republicans’ investigation “has revealed President Biden knew about, participated in, and benefitted from his family cashing in on the Biden name around the world.”

“Despite this record of evidence, President Biden continues to lie to the American people about his involvement in these influence-peddling schemes. It appears making false statements runs in the Biden family,” he said, adding that lawmakers have “caught President Biden’s son and brother making blatant lies to Congress in what appears to be a concerted effort to hide Joe Biden’s involvement in his family’s schemes.”

“As part of our efforts to hold the Bidens accountable for profiting off public office, we are today referring Hunter and James Biden to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution for making false statements to Congress,” Comer said.

He added: “This is not the end of our efforts to hold the Bidens accountable; it’s only the beginning.”
