Jonathan Turley Criticizes DOJ For Ignoring Hunter Biden Evidence

Hunter Biden appears for deposition with House Republicans in Washington

Constitutional law expert Jonathan Turley recently criticized the Department of Justice for not pursuing charges against Hunter Biden for allegedly being an unregistered foreign agent. Turley expressed frustration over what he perceived as the DOJ's failure to act on what he described as 'overwhelming evidence' that Hunter Biden received millions of dollars to influence U.S. policy.

Turley highlighted the lack of charges under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) in Hunter Biden's case, despite what he viewed as a clear case of influence peddling. He compared this to the stringent enforcement of FARA during the Trump administration, where even minor infractions led to charges. Turley questioned why Hunter Biden had not faced similar scrutiny.

During an impeachment inquiry, House Republicans raised concerns about potential financial transactions involving Hunter Biden and U.S. policy influence. Prosecutors alleged that Hunter Biden received $3 million and worked for Romanian Oligarch Gabriel Popoviciu, who is under investigation in Romania.

House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer emphasized the importance of bank records in shedding light on financial transactions. He stated that the evidence pointed to Hunter Biden's involvement in activities that raised questions about his influence on U.S. policy.

The DOJ's handling of the case has sparked debate and criticism, with many questioning the lack of action against Hunter Biden despite the allegations against him. The issue of foreign influence in U.S. politics continues to be a topic of concern and scrutiny among legal experts and lawmakers.
