Comer claims failed plea deal weakens Biden lawyers’ influence.
House Oversight Committee Chairman: Hunter Biden’s Foiled Plea Agreement Won’t Intimidate Witnesses
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) expressed his satisfaction with the collapse of Hunter Biden’s plea agreement, stating that it would put an end to the lawyers’ attempts to intimidate witnesses. Comer made these remarks during an interview with Hannity, where he shed light on the lawyers’ tactics.
“These lawyers have intimidated many of the witnesses that we’ve tried to bring forward for depositions and transcribed interviews,” Comer told Hannity. “They’ve told them things like, ‘You’re only going to implicate yourself. We’re not going to get in trouble.'”
Hunter Biden’s Plea Deal Falls Apart in Court
President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, left his federal court hearing in Delaware on Wednesday with his planned plea agreement in shambles. The disagreement between lawyers regarding the scope of the deal and the presiding judge’s concerns about its terms led to its collapse.
Prior to the hearing, U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika also issued a warning to Hunter Biden’s attorneys. She threatened sanctions against them after a member of the legal team allegedly misrepresented her identity to court officials in an attempt to remove a brief about IRS whistleblowers’ testimony from the court docket.
“Hopefully the witnesses, like Devon Archer and the others who we’re going to be bringing before the committee this summer, hopefully they saw what happened in that court today,” Comer said. “And that these lawyers aren’t going to continue to get away with the shenanigans that they tried to pull yesterday when they lied and said they were part of Ways and Means staff to get something removed.”
“Those days are over, and we’re in control of this thing,” Comer continued. “I believe that if these witnesses will come forward and tell the truth, I think the American people are going to be in for a big eye-opener with respect to Joe Biden.”
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) joined Comer on Hannity and applauded the judge’s decision not to approve the plea agreement, considering it ”a win for equal application of the law.”

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) also appeared on Hannity and highlighted the consistency of whistleblowers’ testimony as the investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings continues. He emphasized that this consistency undermines the credibility of U.S. Attorney David Weiss’s statements.
“One important point is that the two IRS whistleblowers that came forward, that testified in Jamie Comer’s committee — their stories have stayed the same,” Smith said. “The stories that have not stayed the same are those of prosecutor Weiss and also the Biden family. That is the issue. We have really credible whistleblowers come forward, and they are all singing from the same tune.”
