House GOP Seeks DOJ Charges Against Hunter and James Biden for Alleged False Statements

House Republicans have recommended that the Justice Department charge President Biden's son Hunter and brother James for making false statements to Congress during the impeachment inquiry into the president. The GOP-led House committees claim there is "overwhelming evidence" of perjury and false statements regarding their business dealings while Joe Biden was vice president. The Justice Department is not obligated to act on this recommendation, and any criminal referral would be symbolic, leaving the decision to prosecute up to the department.

House GOP Sends Criminal Referrals to DOJ for Hunter and James Biden

House Republicans have sent criminal referrals to the DOJ, recommending charges against Hunter and James Biden for allegedly making false statements to Congress. This move comes amid Hunter Biden's unrelated gun trial and follows former President Trump's recent conviction. Hunter and James Biden's lawyers criticized the referrals as partisan distractions, while House Speaker Mike Johnson supported the action. Democrats, including Rep. Jamie Raskin, dismissed the referrals as baseless attempts to divert attention from the lack of evidence against President Biden.

"James Biden's Testimony on Brother's Business Involvement Sparks GOP Controversy"

GOP lawmakers accused James Biden of contradicting himself during his testimony on his brother's involvement in the family business, claiming that he initially denied being part of a deal with his nephew Hunter Biden and business associates but later changed his story when presented with an agreement bearing his signature. The interview, part of House Republicans' impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, lasted over eight hours, with lawmakers alleging that James Biden's responses contradicted his opening statement and that he avoided directly answering investigators' questions. Despite recent developments undermining a central claim of the GOP investigation, Republicans intend to push ahead with their broader probe into the Biden family's overseas finances.

"James Biden Testifies: President's Lack of Involvement in Family Business and GOP's Impeachment Circus"

James Biden, President Joe Biden's brother, testified to lawmakers that the president had no involvement in the business dealings of other family members, as part of House Republicans' impeachment inquiry. The GOP investigation into the Biden family's overseas finances has faced criticism over lack of evidence directly implicating the president, and was further undermined when an FBI informant's claims of a bribery scheme involving the president and his son were charged as fabricated. Despite ongoing efforts by Republicans to push for impeachment charges, House Democrats have remained united against the impeachment effort, calling it a "sham process."

"James Biden Affirms Joe Biden's Lack of Involvement in Family Business Ventures"

James Biden testified to GOP lawmakers that President Joe Biden had no involvement in the family's business dealings, stating that Joe Biden has never had any direct or indirect financial interest in his business ventures. The GOP's impeachment inquiry into the Biden family's overseas finances has faced criticism for lack of evidence directly implicating the president, especially after an FBI informant's claims were discredited. Both James and Hunter Biden were subpoenaed by the committee, with James Biden's lawyers arguing that there was no justification for the subpoena as the committee had already reviewed private bank records and transactions between the brothers. Republicans, however, continue to push back on the Biden family's defense, alleging evidence of "influence peddling" in their business dealings.

"Biden's Brother James Testifies in Impeachment Probe Amid Scrutiny Over Failed Hospital Venture"

House Republicans are conducting critical interviews with President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, and brother, James, in their impeachment inquiry. Testimonies from Biden family business associates have undermined the allegations against Joe Biden, and recent developments have dealt blows to the impeachment effort. Republicans hope the interviews with James and Hunter Biden will provide new evidence, but banking records suggest that checks addressed to Joe Biden were loan repayments, not incriminating evidence. Testimonies from associates also indicate that Joe Biden was not involved in his family's business ventures.

FBI Tapes Reveal James Biden's Dealings in Unrelated Bribery Investigation

James Biden, the younger brother of President Joe Biden, has long benefited financially from his proximity to his powerful sibling, with his private business work often intersecting with his brother's public responsibilities. One example is his involvement in a deal with trial attorney Richard "Dickie" Scruggs, who paid James Biden's consulting firm $100,000 for advice on passing a tobacco bill in Congress. While James Biden's ties to Scruggs later brought him to the periphery of a bribery investigation, neither he nor his brother were charged or accused of wrongdoing. Congressional Republicans are now investigating whether President Biden assisted his family members' business deals, with subpoenas issued for James and his wife Sara Biden to testify.
