WASHINGTON — Sen. John Cornyn of Texas and 32 other Senate Republicans are demanding special counsel powers for the prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden, warning Attorney General Merrick Garland to take steps needed to avert political meddling on behalf of the president’s son.
“There is no way of knowing the entire scope of the investigation, but evidence seems to be mounting that Hunter Biden committed numerous federal crimes, including, but not limited to, tax fraud, money laundering, and foreign-lobbying violations,” the senators wrote in a letter released Monday by Cornyn’s office.
Fox News, CNN and other major news outlets reported two months ago that the federal investigation into Hunter Biden’s business activities was at or near a “critical juncture,” with prosecutors weighing the possibility of charges.
