U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds says a House investigation has uncovered enough of Hunter Biden’s crimes, and it’s now time to launch an impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden.
The Naples Republican argued on the House floor that there is already evidence the President benefited financially from his family’s financial schemes. While Democrats argue there’s no evidence Joe Biden committed any crimes, Donalds said plenty of evidence already implicates Hunter.
“The Democrat Party is telling us they care about taxpayers, but the son of the President of the United States is a tax cheat,” Donalds said.
“He ignored federal tax law on purpose. He laundered money through 20 LLCs (limited liability corporations). He concealed millions of dollars of overseas money. And the only reason he was able to accomplish these feats of getting so much money into his companies is because the President is his father.”
The Justice Department in June charged Hunter Biden with failing to pay his income taxes, along with a firearm-related crime.
The House Oversight Committee, which Donalds serves on, scrutinized documents and interviewed witnesses over months about Hunter Biden’s overseas financial activities. Donalds said the questionable sources of money alone raise concerns about everyone who benefitted.
“If you are asking why we are looking for an impeachment inquiry, it is because there were 170 suspicious activity reports at the Department of Treasury, which we went and looked through, and every one of those reports said very clearly that there was evidence of money laundering and potentially tax evasion,” Donalds said.
“There were hours of deposition, there’s a web of LLCs with company names that have no business interest whatsoever.”
Most importantly, Donalds said, there are indications that money passed from Hunter Biden’s companies to Joe Biden’s bank account.
House Republicans last month published an image of a check from Sara Biden, the President’s sister-in-law, to Joe Biden. That was written weeks after a company controlled by Hunter Biden sent a $400,000 check to another company controlled by Jim Biden, the President’s brother, and Sara Biden.
“That’s your evidence,” Donalds said. “If you want to talk crime, bribery? Co-conspiracy to federal violations? And we can go on and on. Congress must investigate these crimes.”

After over a year of investigations, 10,000 furnished documents, dozens of bank records….. Republicans still have zero evidence of President Biden’s involvement or benefit from Hunter’s business dealings.
Republicans didn’t have the votes for a full blown impeachment because they lack Joe Biden’s criminality evidence. So this is simply an extension of their “inquiry!”
Republicans are America’s worst enemy!
Vote all Republicans out of office!

Why do Democrats turn a blind eye to this? Do they think it is okay to have politicians get millions of dollars from China, Russia, and Ukraine? This would scare me if you told me that Trump or Desantis was taking money from those countries.

Evidence, my butt. The GOP is a sad joke. What a farce. Why don’t these Congressmen actually do something to help real people? Like pass legislation. Get ahead of the Federal budget? Because the GOP is morally bankrupt, petty, and in love with Donald “grab em by the pussy” Tramp.
