House Republicans have taken a significant step by issuing criminal referrals against President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and his brother, James Biden. The referrals accuse them of making false statements to Congress during the GOP's yearlong impeachment inquiry. The House Oversight and Accountability, Judiciary, and Ways and Means committees sent a letter to the Justice Department recommending the prosecution of the Bidens, alleging that they made a 'conscious effort' to undermine the House's investigation.
Both Hunter and James Biden have denied the allegations, with their attorneys dismissing the referrals as a partisan attempt to distract from the failed impeachment inquiry. Hunter Biden is currently facing legal challenges in a federal court in Delaware for three felony charges related to the purchase of a gun in 2018. Prosecutors have accused him of lying on the gun application and illegally possessing the weapon.
