In a statement posted to X, Comer resurfaced claims from the House Oversight Committee’s impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden that he benefited from his family’s business activities, saying “President Biden and his family continue to do everything they can to avoid accountability.”

“Joe Biden has lied from start to finish about his family’s corrupt influence peddling activities. Not only has he falsely claimed that he never met with his son’s foreign business associates and that his son did nothing wrong, but he also lied when he said he would not pardon Hunter Biden,” he said.

“The charges Hunter faced were just the tip of the iceberg in the blatant corruption that President Biden and the Biden Crime Family have lied about to the American people. It’s unfortunate that, rather than come clean about their decades of wrongdoing, President Biden and his family continue to do everything they can to avoid accountability,” Comer added.

In the pardon of Hunter, Joe Biden said that he struggled with the decision but concluded over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend that his son was “treated differently” during the Department of Justice‘s nearly six-year investigation and prosecution of his son.

“Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice — and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further,” he said.

Hunter Biden was set to be sentenced in less than two weeks for three gun felonies after he was convicted by a jury of unlawfully possessing a firearm while addicted to drugs. He also had a sentencing hearing scheduled later in December for nine tax charges after he pleaded guilty to failing to pay income taxes on millions of dollars worth of income.
