Three House committees have just sent criminal referrals to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for members of Democrat President Joe Biden’s family.
The House committees issued criminal referrals on Wednesday for Hunter and James Biden, the president’s son and younger brother.
They are accused of making “false statements to Congress” about key aspects of President Biden’s impeachment inquiry.
The alleged false statements have to do with Joe Biden’s knowledge of and role in his family’s influence-peddling schemes.
The allegedly fabricated testimonies appear to be a calculated effort to shield the president from the impeachment inquiry.
Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY), Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH), and Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith (R-MO) announced the move in a statement on Wednesday.
Hunter allegedly falsely suggested he was not the corporate secretary for Rosemont Seneca Bohai (RSB).
Documents released by the Ways and Means Committee reveal a corporate resolution signed by Hunter as the “acting Secretary” of Rosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC.
“Furthermore, the Committee asked Hunter about foreign payments into the RSB account,” the Oversight Committee said in May.
“According to evidence provided by an IRS whistleblower, Hunter Biden was the beneficial owner of the entity’s associated bank account.”

Hunter also allegedly lied about who he spoke with about leveraging his father’s influence to rake in money from CEFC China Energy Co.
In May, the Oversight Committee explained:
“Hunter also claimed that the Zhao he was messaging on WhatsApp is not the same Zhao connected to CEFC.
“(These were the messages where Hunter stated Joe Biden was sitting next to him)
“According to phone records released today, Hunter only communicated with one ‘Zhao’ – Raymond Zhao – in the exchange we asked about.
“Not only did the same Zhao respond, but his message thread indicates he knew exactly what Hunter Biden was talking about.
“Hunter went on to message the ‘Zhao’ phone number for months regarding matters related to CEFC.”
James Biden alleged that the president “never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest” in the family business.
However, Tony Bobulinski, a former Biden family associate and whistleblower, told Congress that Joe Biden did have involvement.
“Hunter Biden, in his own transcribed interview, confirmed that that meeting took place,” he said.
“Hunter confirmed his uncle perjured himself in front of this committee.
“The committee was so shocked by his perjury that they asked him the same question multiple times,” Bobulinski said.
“Each time he denied meeting with me and Joe Biden, after the committee showed him text messages confirming that.”
Last month, Chairman Smith slammed the Bidens for their statements before Congress.
“Lying during sworn testimony is a felony offense that the Department of Justice has prosecuted numerous individuals for in recent years, and the American people expect the same accountability for the son of the President of the United States,” Smith said.
Since opening the probe, House investigators have revealed Joe Biden received money from James and Hunter Biden.
They also showed that nine additional Biden family members received payments from the family’s foreign business ventures.
Those family members include two of Joe Biden’s grandchildren.
