House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan accused the Department of Justice of protecting President Joe Biden by allowing Hunter Biden’s alleged tax crimes in 2014 and 2015 to lapse under the statute of limitations.
He highlighted the involvement of former U.S. attorney Lesley Wolf and questioned why the investigation did not pursue charges for those years.
Jordan emphasized the connection between Hunter Biden’s position at Burisma and his father’s influence, suggesting a cover-up. (Trending: Devastating News For Hunter Biden After Defying Subpoena)
He also noted the DOJ’s recent charges against Hunter Biden for tax evasion and the reduction in his board pay after Joe Biden left the vice presidency.
Jordan said the most pressing question he has for Wolf is, “Why the investigation decided to let the tax years 2014, 2015, when the bulk of the Burisma income was coming into Hunter Biden, why they let the statute of limitation lapse for those years?”
“My theory, when you get into Burisma, you get to the White House.”
“I mean it’s one thing to charge Hunter Biden on a gun charge in Delaware, that doesn’t involve Joe Biden,” Jordan said.
Fox News’ Bill Hemmer asked Jordan if he believes 2014 and 2015 to be the most serious charges.
“Yeah, because I think the theory of this case is, I think it’s an old story.”
“You’ve got a politician who does certain things.”
“Those actions benefit his family financially, and then there’s an effort to conceal it,” Jordan said.
“I think the effort to cover up and conceal it was the way [U.S. attorney and now special counsel] David Weiss and Lesley Wolf handled this investigation,” he said.
