House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) has called out the Department of Justice (DOJ) for its handling of the Hunter Biden case. In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Jordan accused the DOJ of using gun charges against Hunter Biden as a way to “save face” because they haven’t yet indicted him for more serious crimes. Jordan believes that the DOJ decided to indict Hunter on the gun charge as a distraction from the larger issues surrounding his business dealings and alleged connections to his father, President Biden.
As part of an impeachment inquiry into President Biden’s alleged involvement in his son’s business dealings, Jordan, along with two other Republican congressmen, has been tasked with investigating the DOJ’s handling of the case. Jordan is focused specifically on determining whether Hunter Biden received preferential treatment during the five-year investigation. He plans to meet with DOJ and FBI officials involved in the case, including special counsel David Weiss.
Jordan also hopes to question Weiss directly about the lack of additional charges against Hunter Biden. He believes that the DOJ’s actions are a clear indication of their bias and unwillingness to hold the president’s son accountable for any potential crimes. Jordan asserts that the American people deserve answers and transparency from the DOJ, and he intends to seek justice and the truth in this matter.
