In a recent interview, House Judiciary Committee Chairman, Jim Jordan, provided updates on the investigation into the involvement of James Biden, brother of President-elect Joe Biden, in various business dealings. Jordan stated that the committee's lawyers have been in contact with legal counsels for individuals such as Jim Biden, Rob Walker, Schwerin, Tony Bobulinski, and Kevin Morris, and they anticipate having them appear for depositions in January.
Jordan highlighted the connection between James Biden and the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, emphasizing four key facts. Firstly, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, was appointed to the board of Burisma, even though he lacked the qualifications. Secondly, executives at Burisma requested Hunter Biden's assistance in influencing Washington, D.C. to alleviate pressure from a prosecutor. Jordan noted that Hunter Biden called his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, in response to this request. Thirdly, Joe Biden traveled to Ukraine and conditioned the release of American taxpayer dollars on the firing of the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma. Lastly, Jordan pointed out attempts to sweep the issue under the rug by allowing the statute of limitations to lapse for the years when the bulk of money flowed from Burisma to the Biden family.
