During a weekend interview on Fox News, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer stated that the Republican-led impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden is expected to result in “multiple” criminal referrals. However, it remains uncertain whether the Justice Department will take action on them.
Comer, a Kentucky Republican, also disclosed plans to conduct a public hearing this week, but Hunter Biden has opted out of participating after giving private testimony. Initially, Biden’s attorney had indicated that his client would be willing to take part in a public hearing.

Comer, a Kentucky Republican, also disclosed plans to conduct a public hearing this week, but Hunter Biden has opted out of participating after giving private testimony. Initially, Biden’s attorney had indicated that his client would be willing to take part in a public hearing.
When asked by Bartiromo about the number of referrals that would be coming, Comer responded with a vague answer of “multiple,” declining to disclose an exact figure.
Biden and his allies are pushing back against the impeachment process, calling it a “sham” investigation without grounds for impeachment. Evidence suggests that the president was involved in his family’s business affairs despite his denials, as reported by The Daily Wire.
The GOP leader accused the White House and Biden’s legal team of significant obstruction, although congressional investigators have managed to obtain about 80% of the requested information, according to Comer.
“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, a cattle farmer and former bank executive, said.
Earlier this month, after Hunter Biden’s private testimony before his panel and the House Judiciary Committee, Comer talked about the potential future actions in the impeachment inquiry.
Comer mentioned that the GOP is preparing to enter a new stage, which may involve bringing Hunter back for public testimony. However, Hunter’s lawyer dismissed this possibility.
Hunter’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, told reporters: “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 testified that he “did not involve” his father in his businesses while heavily criticizing House Republicans for having “hunted” him in a “partisan political pursuit” and impeachment inquiry against the president.
In addition, Lowell also said the GOP has no evidence against his father, the president, “because there isn’t any.”
Fox News added:
A source with direct knowledge of the deposition told Fox News Digital that Hunter “first made clear in his opening statement and emphasized throughout the deposition, Joe Biden was not involved in, did not benefit from, and took no official actions to benefit any of his business ventures.”
In reference to the “10 held by H for the big guy?” email, the source claimed that Hunter told the congressional committee that the business associate who sent the message, James Gilliar, was “out of his mind for even suggesting Joe Biden get involved in their joint venture.”
“Hunter discussed his addiction at length,” the source noted further, going on to explain that Hunter “admitted that he was high or drunk when he sent the ‘sitting here with my father’ WhatsApp message, sent it to the wrong recipient, and is now embarrassed by the message.”
Fox News Digital pointed out that the text was sent to a business partner of CEFC, a Chinese energy firm.

The only thing saving Biden from Impeachments is Harris as we can not risk her in the Oval Office for even a week.
Wise up Comer & wait until a new honest bunch fill these positions. Everyone of our top notch institutions have been weaponized & are no longer trust worthy. Top to bottom house cleaning is coming if you want this country to survive!
