The House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer said the GOP impeachment inquiry into President Biden will likely lead to “multiple” criminal referrals, though it’s unclear if the Justice Department will act on them.
Committee Republicans plan to hold a public hearing this week, but Hunter Biden has declined to testify publicly after providing private testimony.
The chairman said if Hunter doesn’t testify publicly, “it’s not going to end well for the Bidens” given conflicting testimony from other witnesses.
“If he does not show up, then it’s not going to end well for the Bidens, because we have three witnesses that … have already testified under oath to significantly different stories as to what exactly the Biden influence peddling schemes were,” Comer said.
He discussed evidence of wrongdoing they’ve uncovered, including suspicious activity reports and payments to Hunter from foreign countries like Ukraine while Joe Biden was vice president.
“This is very serious because we’re at the point now of criminal referrals,” Comer added.
“We have accumulated lots of evidence of wrongdoing, from the 170 suspicious activity reports to the multiple shell companies that were used to launder the money and then send the ten different Biden family members incremental payments, all the payments from Romania, from Kazakhstan, from Ukraine, from Russia that were sent to the Bidens during — most of which was — happened during Joe Biden’s tenure as vice president of the United States,” Comer said.

Hunter’s lawyer denied any evidence against Joe Biden and called the inquiry illegitimate.
“The transcripts of witnesses who have been called to date, including Hunter’s, makes it obvious that there is nothing left to ask, answer, say or do. This illegitimate inquiry should have ended long before their star witness was indicted for lying but it wasn’t. Now that Hunter has put this partisan conspiracy to the lie that it is — on the record and under oath — this political charade should finally come to an end,” Hunter’s attorney, Abbe Lowell stated.
The committee will move to the next phase, which could include forcing Hunter to testify publicly, though his lawyer opposes that.
