House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer recently urged President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Pam Bondi, to investigate and prosecute James Biden for allegedly making false statements. James, the brother of President Joe Biden, has been involved in the Biden family’s business activities, according to probes from Comer.
The House Oversight chair reportedly determined that James had received approximately $200,000 from Americore, a company that has been accused of defrauding Medicare, which was placed in Joe Biden’s bank account by James, claiming it was repayment for money Joe had lent him. Comer’s subsequent request for documentation on the supposed loan were not fulfilled.
Furthermore, Comer subpoenaed James’s Lion-Hall Group and JBBSR, Inc., seeking to uncover documents related to Joe Biden’s corporation, CelticCapri Corp, that reportedly received $10 million in 2017 without revenue line items explaining the transaction. Additionally, James has also been involved with businesses linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Reportedly, Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) determined that an associate of the Biden family, Rob Walker, received a $3 million wire transfer from CEFC China Energy Co., a company with ties to the Chinese government. It is reported that multiple members of the Biden family collectively received $1.3 million from the wire.
As a result of Comer’s findings, House Republicans launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, claiming that he had knowledge of and contributed to his family’s “influence peddling schemes.” Now, Comers has reached out to Bondi, requesting her to prosecute James for supposedly lying to Congress about these activities.
The letter read, “On February 21, 2024, the Oversight Committee and the Judiciary Committee conducted a transcribed interview of James Biden, who was accompanied by counsel. On February 28, 2024, the Oversight Committee and the Judiciary Committee conducted a deposition of Hunter Biden, who testified under oath and was accompanied by counsel.10 On June 5, 2024, the Committees made criminal referrals of Hunter Biden and James Biden to the Department of Justice pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1001 (false statements), and, additionally, for Hunter Biden under 18 U.S.C. § 1621 (perjury). To date, Attorney General Garland has ignored the Committees’ referral. As the referral demonstrates, Hunter Biden and James Biden made provably false statements to the Oversight Committee and the Judiciary Committee about key aspects of the impeachment inquiry, in what appears to be a conscious effort to hinder the investigation’s focus on President Biden. Although President Biden’s pardon encompasses all crimes committed by Hunter Biden during the timeframe investigated by the Committee (including the crime of perjury before Congress), Attorney General Garland — or his successor — may, and should, determine prosecution of James Biden for violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001 is appropriate.”
It continued, “James Biden made materially false statements to the Oversight and Judiciary Committees. The nature of both his and Hunter Biden’s false statements is not lost on the Committees: every instance implicates Joe Biden’s knowledge of and role in his family’s influence peddling. James Biden’s denial of Joe Biden’s meeting with James Biden, Hunter Biden, and Hunter Biden’s business associate for a Chinese transaction, Tony Bobulinski — despite evidence being placed in front of him and being given multiple opportunities to amend his response — appears to be a clumsy attempt to protect Joe Biden from the reality that Joe Biden has indeed met with his family’s business associates.”
