Home Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer (R-KY) mentioned Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that he believed Hunter Biden was indicted by federal prosecutor David Weiss on 9 federal tax counts on Thursday to guard his father President Joe Biden.
Comer mentioned, “What he acquired charged with, with that indictment final evening, that had nothing to do with all the so-called loans that the Bidens have taken. We’ve recognized, it seems, with the president’s son and brother, over $14 million in loans the place it doesn’t appear to be they made any funds on, principal or curiosity. And what level do these loans, in case you’re not going to pay ’em again, change into revenue?
Comer added, “So, we predict that is simply the tip of the iceberg. We predict there’s many extra crimes. and my concern is that Weiss could have indicted Hunter Biden to guard him from having to be deposed within the Home Oversight Committee on Wednesday.”

Why are they paying Hunter Biden? We consider that it’s as a result of they need a direct entry to Joe Biden. I don’t assume that any American would need a president that’s compromised to our largest enemy on the earth, China.”
